SB is thrilled for her seventh production at Silverdale. She has graced the stage in roles such as Mrs. Banks in Mary Poppins, Mrs. Snow in Pollyanna, and Hodel in Fiddler on the Roof. She hopes her take on the iconic Cinderella is both nostalgic and fresh. Her favorite aspect of the show is the musical composition of the score, with its traditional Broadway sound and continuity through the entire plot. She’d like to give a shoutout to her dad for making the impossible possible— both onstage and off of it. Psalm 63:3

Gaven Hobbs Junior | Topher (The Prince)

Gaven has been acting since the 8th grade in shows including Mary Poppins and Pollyanna and has absolutely loved it. Through theater, God helped Gaven find a family of people like him. He’s loved getting to meet everyone in the cast and the directors. He is so appreciative of the privilege he has been given to play this role and be a part of this family. “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” – Romans 14:8

He has enjoyed every opportunity to sing and dance and enjoy time with the family he has made along the way. His main goal in coming to the play was to gather new experiences and explore new doors the Lord opened for him.

This is Kailie’s third production at Silverdale. She has enjoyed being a part of such wonderful shows throughout her high school career. It has given her a chance to connect with the teachers and the cast members. These are experiences she will never forget! “But Jesus looked at them and said, “‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” – Matthew 19:26

A Note from the Director

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” – Colossians 3:12

Growing up, I loved the story of Cinderella. This humble, kind, and compassionate girl not only finds true love, but becomes a princess who can share this kindness with the whole kingdom. What I love even more in this version is that it’s these attributes that not only causes the prince to fall in love with her, but also ends up changing the lives of everyone around her.

We serve a loving, forgiving, compassionate God, yet it is often incredibly difficult for us to show that same kindness and compassion to those around us. We struggle to forgive others, even though God is always willing to forgive our sins. My first reaction when reading the script was even wondering how it was possible for Cinderella to forgive her stepmother so easily after all the awful things she did to her, yet that is what God expects of us and also what He has blessed us with. Whilst directing this show, I was reminded of how a single act of kindness can change everything. Cinderella shows kindness to crazy Marie, and this one act of kindness completely changes the trajectory of Cinderella’s life.

This past semester, Theatre Performance has been filled with that same kindness and compassion. We have dealt with a lot of curve balls.

There’s been illness, costume stress, and other injuries. But throughout it all, the students have supported each other and kept believing in the power of prayer. They have gone above and beyond to help, encourage, and serve each other. Whether it was making videos for cast members who missed rehearsals or cheering for their castmates at the end of a scene, they have shown an incredible amount of love to everyone around them. They have encouraged each other to grow both in their craft and their faith.

I pray that when you watch this musical, that is what you see! I want you to see the incredible God-given talent on stage but also the love these students have for each other and the Lord. I want to end by first thanking my incredible theater students. James Stafford, the well is amazing! I would like to thank all the parents for sacrificing their time, especially Jim Underwood and Philip Scott for the incredible set pieces. Angie Albee, you once again helped the show come to life! I would like to thank the faculty and staff, especially Alex Denton and Jill Fister for all their support. Sophia Moon, Tiffany Askew, Stephen Humphries, Shaun Sneed, and Connie Regal, there would not be a show without you. And finally, I give thanks to God, who placed me right here, right now! To God be all the glory!

Now, let’s get this show on the road… –
