American Theater Arts For Youth Presents <i>Cinderella</i>

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - The American Theater Arts For Youth based in Philadelphia presents the classic fairytale Cinderella at the Kimmel Center.

Troup Founder and Chairman, Laurie Wagman, says the young theater goers love the inspirational message,"there is always hope and if you want it hard enough, wish it hard enough, you may make things fall into place."

Her company's first production of Cinderella took place 40 years ago and it's still one of her favorite programs because it is so lively and entertaining, "the two sisters and the mother are really very, very funny. The costumes are wonderful as are the wigs...slightly insane."

There will be six performances between the 19th and the 22nd.
