Don’t miss out on your chance to see the play. The dates are April 28,29,30 and May 5,6,7 in the Sedro-Woolley High School Auditorium. Prices for students, children, and seniors is $7 while the price for adults is $12.

They all lived happily ever after is a line we can connect to the fairy tales of every child’s life. If you love your fairy tales with happy endings, then you will love Sedro-Woolley’s upcoming interpretation of Cinderella. Yes, that’s right, interpretation.
The version everyone knows these days, of course, is Disney’s version of this magical tale. But rest assured, this play will be one of a kind, one to go down in the history of great plays that have been done at Sedro-Woolley High School.

This play has many fantastic aspects, from the specially made pumpkin carriage to the wonderful cast working together to make this story come alive. The working process is different than what Amy Gregory has done in the past. A sort of figure it out as we go, but still having the root idea for the placement of scenes in mind.
“It is going to be a fantastic performance,” says Gregory.

Working out the characters was definitely a major part of the process especially making the Prince and Cinderella’s character more realistic. Making the Prince not just some guy who has the power to search for a wife. He is made out to actually deal with the problems and responsibilities of being a prince.

Cinderella is now a much stronger character.
This she can thank due to her trusty companions that help her through the course of the play. She never walks from a fight, she stands up for herself, and she is aware of all her surroundings. This show has all the things of the story we all know, love and more.

The Sedro-Woolley drama department is filled with talented individuals made up of band, debate, and sports kids. The wide demographic of students in the department shows how open drama can really be.

Jared Bowman, playing the part of Barry Huggington III, starred in his first production last year after being apart of the state-winning football team.

“To get into my role,” Bowman says, “I get serious and breathe slower.” He says he uses three simple steps to getting his accent for his role. “Every T is pronounced hard, the letter A is dragged out, and any R is not pronounced when followed by a consonant.”

Some actors and actresses this year are taking big roles they could not have imagined before. For instance, the prince is being played by Harrison Oudman making this his debut play.
Seeing Oudman pace back and forth studying his lines hard, hoping that everything will go right, tells that he wished he would have been in plays sooner. The even bigger deal this year, is the amount of seniors filling the roles of Cinderella.
