“Cinderella’s Mice”

 

Children’s Musical Show Premiere

 

March 26 for Two Shows

50-minute musical recommended for children Pre-K to 4th grades, will delight the entire family!

 

The production by Lawton Community Theatre is scheduled for March 26 at the McMahon Memorial Auditorium located at 801 NW Ferris Avenue. "Cinderella's Mice" is a delightful musical written by James H. Brock, PhD. Lawton Community Theatre notes that, "We all know about the six mice that were changed into footmen and horses to carry Cinderella to the ball. We all know that Cinderella ended up meeting and marrying the Prince. What we never knew, however, is what happened to those footmen and horses when they were changed back into lowly mice. "Cinderella's Mice" tells the tale of six little mice who had a glorious adventure and weren't very happy when it was over. It took their Mother and some special magic from Fairy Godmother to remind them that home is the best place to be and that things work out best when you do what your mother tells you to do."

Student Performance Project History

 

Since 1975, the Student Performance Project works to bring live theatre to school age students.

 

Each year, two performances are arranged for one day at McMahon Memorial Auditorium. Performance selections are targeted towards elementary and junior-high school aged students. In this way, the project works to create future theatre audiences by exposing students to live theater at a young age. For many students, this is their first opportunity to experience professional theatre in a performing arts center.

 

Most performances are based on historic events or works of literature that the target audiences are familiar with.

 

Schools are asked to reserve their spots by sending in their registration form and admission fee prior to the performance day. All seats are assigned to maximize seating capacity.

 

Sponsors and Community Partners for this project are the National Endowment for the Arts, Oklahoma Arts Council, City of Lawton, Lawton Arts and Humanities Council, McMahon Auditorium Authority, and the Lawton Public Schools.

 

 

Recent shows have been "Peter Pan", "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", "Just So Stories", "Junie B. Jones", and "Curious George" which were productions by Theatreworks USA.
