The Cinderella Premiere

The storyteller goes out on the stage and the play starts. In the audience there are staff and volunteers from The Red Cross. Cinderella is cleaning the floor while the step mum and the two step sisters are playing the piano.

The Kings servant enters the stage and gives out invitations to the ball to the audience. He then knocks on the Cinderella’s door and gives her the invitation. Cinderella tells her step mum and her step sisters who are exited to go to the ball. But, as you all know from the story they try their best to make sure that Cinderella can’t go, by giving her lots of tasks to do. Cinderella needs help, and she gets it from her little friends. The mice and birds enter the stage and helps Cinderella clean and make her dress. The audience applauds the cute children. Then suddenly the all start to laugh. It turns out that 5 year old Yurik has lost his mice ears down in front of his eyes. While the kids are dancing, we are changing Cinderella’s dress backstairs, and when she comes out she is wearing a beautiful pink silk dress. The step sisters, mean as they are, get jealous of her beauty and ruin her dress. Luckily for Cinderella the fairy is on her side and with the help of the mice and birds they manage to make a new dress for her. On her way to the King’s palace she is almost knocked down, when one of the volunteers turns around a big poster, that transfers the setting from Cinderella’s room to the palace.
When Cinderella enters the King’s palace the room freezes and the prince falls immediately in love. Unfortunately for the prince, it’s soon 12 o’clock, so Cinderella has to leave. On the way back to her house, she runs in between the audience and looses her shoe. The prince picks it up and declares that he wants to marry the women that the shoe belongs to. The step mum locks Cinderella up in the room so when the King’s servant comes with the shoe she is not there. However, she manages to break out from her room and enters the stage. The Prince takes Cinderella’s hand and while the audience is applauding the rest of the children walk out on the stage singing “Happy end happy end.”
Even though I don’t think the Prince and Cinderella really are in love, I’m quite sure that all the children had a happy end of the day when they were sitting after the play eating cake and drinking juice.
