Elkhart Civic Theatre moves into the newly renovated Goshen Theatre, 216 S. Main St., for three performances of the family classic, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.” Performances are 7:30 p.m. July 16 and 17, with a matinee at 3 p.m. July 17.

The show is directed by Matthew Manley, assisted by Sydney Cox, with choreography by Syd Fogle and vocal direction by Sandy Hill. The cast of “Cinderella” includes:

Cinderella: Geneviéve Carreño

Prince Topher: Skye Steury

Marie: Rachel Raska Selle

Sebastian: Andrew Galang

Madame: Michelle Miller Charlotte: Madison Jackson

Gabrielle: Kala Key

Jean-Michel: Braden Allison

Lord Pinkleton: Noah Byers

A fairy tale and a must-see show for the whole family, this “Cinderella” is the contemporary new Broadway adaptation of the classic tale, featuring Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” – along with a hilarious and romantic libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” was remade for television in 1965 for Lesley Ann Warren, and again in 1997 with Whitney Houston and Brandy. The original Broadway production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” opened in 2013.

Elkhart Civic Theatre’s full season is underwritten by Laura and Jack B. Smith, Jr., and Gaska Tape. WNIT is media sponsor.

Tickets are adults: $21; seniors (62+): $19; students: $16.

Tickets for “Cinderella” are available online at elkhartcivictheatre.org/cinderella or by calling the ticket line at (574) 848-4116 between 1-5:30 p.m. Monday–Friday.

Singles dances

Good neighbors: To the neighbor who wanted to know about singles dances, there are dances the second and fourth Sunday of the month at 5:30 p.m. at the American Legion Post 49 in Fort Wayne. They hold singles dances and it is usually crowded.

Transfer VHS to DVD

To the good neighbor looking for VHS transfers to DVD, please call (574) 202-0097. I can transfer VHS and some camcorder video to DVD or digital files for you.

Seeking church

Good neighbors: Our church would love to have you visit. Our website is brbcmichiana. com. We are located in Osceola at the Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship church building. Our Pastor Kevin James can be reached at brbcmichiana@ gmail.com. God bless you!

To my neighbor seeking a church helping families stay together, my husband and I have benefited from articles on jw.org, particularly in the “Marriage and Family” section. The articles are Bible-based and they helped us learn how to apply Bible principles which really improved our relationship. There is also helpful content for parents, children and teenagers on the website. I hope it benefits your family as much as it did ours.
