We are pleased to announce open auditions for our upcoming production of Cinderella, the classic fairy tale about a young girl who escapes the terrible treatment of her spiteful step-family when she’s blessed by a bit of fairy godmother magic and goes to a ball dressed as a beautiful princess where she falls in love with a prince.

COVID Policy
Due to the current high levels of COVID in Franklin County, we recommend the same protocol as county public health officials: masks on all visitors and participants are strongly recommended; vaccination is strongly recommended. While not a requirement, we are trying to do our part to help limit community spread, and COVID outbreaks during rehearsal can be extremely disruptive (and disappointing!) to participants. We will continue to comply with any local, county, or state requirements should these change.
Important Dates
- Call-backs: Monday, August 22 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the Hilliard Civic and Cultural Arts Center
- Mandatory cast & parent meeting: Tuesday, August 23 at 6:30pm to review expectations and answer any questions for final cast and parents. Also held at the Hilliard Civic and Cultural Arts Center.
- Performance dates: September 23-25, September 30, Oct 1-2.

What is the time commitment for practice?
More details will be available at auditions, but generally there will be rehearsals approximately 6 days per week usually in 2 hour increments. Rehearsals are typically in the early evenings mon to thurs as well as Saturday am and Sunday afternoon. The amount of rehearsal required will be dependent to some degree on the role cast (i.e. leads will have more required rehearsal than ensemble). Please place any known conflicts on your audition form and bring with you to auditions. thank you for your interest!!

Hi! This show is NOT a musical, correct? Thank you 🙂
Hi Emily, apologies as somehow we didn’t see your question in a timely manner. We assome you wanted to know when considering auditions, but in case it was just a general question – the answer is that you are correct, it is not the musical version of this story. Again apologies for the tardiness here.
I’m new to Hilliard. How can I purchase tickets for a specific performance?
Hi Priscilla, for our theatrical productions, we generally make use of digital boxoffice (we usually use Showtix4u.com) as well as sell tickets at the door. The digital box office usually becomes available bout a month prior to the opening performance. Stay tuned for the Cinderella box offie to open this week!
