Over 80 DCS students in grades 6-12 are involved with this weekend’s DCS Drama Club production of Roders and Hammerstein’s Cinderella (the Enchanted Edition), with 7 p.m. performances on both Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25, and a 2 p.m. performance on Sunday, March 26.

Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door. Adult tickets are $12. Student tickets are $8. Performances will take place in Joe Bena Hall at the Duanesburg Jr.-Sr. High School.
The show is co-directed by Lindsay Heck and Scott Hopkins, who are both music teachers at Duanesburg Jr.-Sr. High School.
New this year, the show will feature a full-size pit orchestra, composed of DCS students and faculty members, which will be conducted by Hopkins. Prior to the show, a short movie will be played that features cast photos, commercials and messages to cast members, which was produced and edited by students in the district’s high school Digital Media Production class. The drama club is also showcasing new microphones and an improved sound system, along with new mid-stage curtains that allow for more versatility for the actors on stage.
