Synopsis
An amateur theatrical group’s final dress rehearsal of Cinderella is a disaster: Cinderella is late, the prompter wants to play all the parts, the sassy stage crew is noisy, the author feels her brainchild is being ruined, and the director is distraught.
The stepsisters miss cues, sound effects are played at the wrong speed, the messenger crashes her bicycle, and the fairy godmother can’t find her wand.
Final Dress Rehearsal is among the most popular plays for high school production according to the International Thespian Society.
