An Original Musical by Joshua Goldberg

45 minutes | flexible cast

Do you wanna go the barn dance? Cinderell’er sure does! But with stalls to muck, cattle to feed, and her spoil'd rotten Stepmother and Stepsisters ordering her about, looks like she ain’t gonna make it. Could a wish on a shootin’ star be just enough to turn her luck around? Or does this gal with gumption already have what she needs?
