Ella Enchanted By Karen Zacarias

Music by Deborah Wicks La Puma

From the novel by Gail Carson Levine

As a baby, Ella was given the "gift" to obey every command. Forced to do whatever is asked,
including rubbing her stepsister’s stinky feet, Ella fights for independence.  She sets out on an
extraordinary journey to battle ogres, befriend a prince, and crash a giant’s wedding to find her
fairy Godmother, Lucinda, to undo the spell. A mythical musical based on the book by Gail
Carson Levine, ELLA ENCHANTED explores what it means to find your voice and decide your
own fate.
Children 2 and under are free admission.
