Cinderella panto full of laughs<br />
With their evil intent and genuine<br />
meanness, Cinderella’s stepsisters are<br />
prime panto pickin’s.<br />
Which is what comes to life on stage<br />
four shows only at the performing Arts<br />
Center <strong>April</strong> 26-29. Get ready to laugh hysterically<br />
as the evil stepsisters get their<br />
comeuppance in Buttons—A Cinderella<br />
Panto presented by the High School’s Performing<br />
Arts Department in collaboration<br />
with <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Bear</strong> Theatre Project.<br />
The show is a satirical sequel to the<br />
well-known fairy tale, picking up where<br />
the original Cinderella tale left off. Familiar<br />
characters return and are joined by a<br />
few new ones in continuing the story with<br />
farce, slapstick and audience participation.<br />
Following the form of a traditional<br />
English panto, contemporary references,<br />
humor, schtick, and music fill out the chaotic<br />
story. Not only do <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Bear</strong> High students<br />
appear in the production, some familiar<br />
<strong>Big</strong> <strong>Bear</strong> adult performers are featured.<br />
<strong>Big</strong> <strong>Bear</strong> Theatre Project’s Steve<br />
Cassling for instance plays evil stepsister<br />
Ciabatta, not the first time he’s played a<br />
female part in a panto.<br />
The other stepsister Cappuccino is<br />
played by high school English teacher<br />
Colin Schour. Watching the two perform<br />
in drag will be worth the price of admission.<br />
Live band with local musicians accompanies.<br />
Many in the cast have extensive theater<br />
experience. Appearing as Cinderella<br />
is Lauren Davis with Ely Dawson as Prince<br />
Charming and Ry Wood-Silva as Lord<br />
