To kick off its twentieth anniversary season, Tyrone Community Players will perform Rodgers and Hammerstein\u2019s Cinderella on November 7 and 8 at the Tyrone YMCA theater.
\n\u201cTCP decided to do Cinderella as the premiere production in their anniversary season because of its broad appeal to our audience, and the beautiful musical and story lines it offered to our performers,\u201d said TCP member Cindy Bennett. \u201cIt has been on our list of favorites for many years, and the time just seemed right to kick off a season filled with memories with a show that was close to everyone\u2019s heart.\u201d
\nNumerous individuals have contributed to make this tale about a young girl, her two stepsisters, a wicked stepmother, a fairy godmother, and a handsome prince come to life in the historic theater in the Tyrone YMCA.
\nWith the combined artistic talents of Sharon Lucas and Steven Stoner, a set was designed to accommodate the space constraints, and the forty cast members, while still capturing the magic and mystery that makes Cinderella unforgettable.
\nMusical director, Karen Mayhew added the next component by assembling voices that will sing such melodies as \u201cIn My Own Little Corner,\u201d \u201cDo I Love You Because You\u2019re Beautiful?,\u201d and \u201cTen Minutes Ago.\u201d
\nThe costumes for Cinderella were a collaboration between Laurie Cave and the costume design class at Grier School and Cathy Thomas and her middle school sewing class at Tyrone Area High School.
\nMore behind the scenes magic went into the production such as ordering new lighting equipment and checking sound systems and microphones.
\nLines are learned, dances are choreographed and practiced, and makeup is designed for each actor. Ushers are assembled, the theater is cleaned, tickets are printed and sold and posters and placements are distributed.
\nDirector of Cinderella , Steven Stoner, has an extensive cast, totaling approximately 40 performers, and they are all working to make this production a success.
\nThe principle characters include Megan Marcaurelle as Cinderella; Brett Keith as Prince Charming; Susan Brandt as the Wicked Stepmother and Darcy Wilson and Katie Kensinger as Portia and Joy, the Wicked Stepmother\u2019s daughters.
\nAlso, Debbie Huff Estright will fill the role of the Fairy Godmother, and Pete Hedberg will be the King opposite Lisa Myers’ Queen. The court is rounded out by Emily Fochler as the Chef and Nathan Pownall as the Steward.
\nIn addition to the principle characters, the cast consists of 28 townspeople and members of the royal court, and a children’s chorus comprised of 20 young voices.
