RIVERVIEW - The Riverview Little Theatre Company will present several performances of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Cinderella," beginning Sept. 18.

The show stars Brittany Hamilton as Cinderella, Armando Valdes and Caleb Bone as the prince, Ellen Kleinschmidt as the fairy god mother, Robert Heilmann as the king and Kate Ramsey as the queen.

The cast will feature local artists of various ages, including the principal of Riverview High, Robert Heilmann, as well as Reddick Elementary's music specialist Ellen Kleinschmidt and numerous elementary, middle, high school and college students.

The creative team for "Cinderella" includes artistic director Daron Hawkins, who is choreographing the show and Bev Sutherland, who serves as vocal director.
