Cinderella Show for Students & Seniors

Friday, October 23 at 10:30am

at the historic Carolina Theatre

As part of Greensboro Ballet's Outreach to our community, we are offering a condensed version of our classical ballet production of Cinderella for a very special audience.

We are inviting Triad area students (public, private & homeschool) as we normally do for our Nutcracker School Show held in December each year.

This year, we are also inviting local senior groups from the Greater Greensboro area! This could include seniors from local assisted living communities, senior clubs and/or religious senior groups. Seniors must be 60 & up and come in a group of at least ten. We are excited to offer this new experience for our local senior community and we hope it is just the beginning of our outreach to these art lovers.

A glass slipper, a handsome Prince, the stroke of midnight, an elegant ball. Dreams will come true at the Carolina Theatre for young and old alike as Greensboro Ballet presents this enchanting fairy-tale story, as a ballet!

Tickets:    $6/student ($5 for Title 1 schools), $6/chaperone, Teachers FREE for every 10 students      $8/senior with at least 10 in a group
