Angel in the Ashes -or- Goodness Triumphant! – Mar 27-Apr 13

ABOUT

A melodrama with kazoos based on Rossini’s La Cenerentola.

Goodness triumphs over greed in this new melodrama based on Rossini’s “La Cenerentola.”  Prince Ramiro dresses as a commoner to know his people better and falls in love with Angelina, the innocent maid. Despite the machinations of cruel rivals, and with the help of an angel, she shows that forgiveness is more powerful than vengeance. Melodrama embodies this story with a full heart. Cheer the heroine! Boo the villains!…and hum along with the kazoos!
