Cinderella

January 30 – February 8, 2026

World Premiere – The Window – In the Upper Room

The Seattle Times calls Kent Stowell’s Cinderella “warm and joyous and deeply moving.” This ballet combines the story you know and love with spectacular choreography, Prokofiev’s familiar score, and superb design. Travel with Cinderella from her wistful fireside, through a magical fairyland, to a dazzling palace ball. Let yourself be swept away by this fairytale packed with romance, humor, and beauty.
