To learn more about the classic tale of Cinderella, check out this study guide created by Rayden Leeder, dramaturg for RLT’s Cinderella. The guide includes background on RLT’s version of the show and other adaptations throughout history and from all over the world! There are pre- and post-show questions to help spark conversation with young theatre-goers, and there are a few activities too!

Coats for the Children

Opening night of Cinderella proudly benefits WRAL’s Coats for the Children, with $5 of every ticket sold going to provide warm coats for children in need.

Additionally, we will have a Coats for the Children collection box set up in the lobby during the entire run of the show, so feel free to bring new toys and gently used clean coats, hats, and gloves with you to the theatre to make a donation.

Be sure to tune in to WRAL’s Coats for the Children telethon on Friday, December 19th, for a special appearance from FG!
