The timeless magic of Cinderella is about to sweep across the Northville High School stage as the NHS Drama Club presents its annual Student Run Play on Friday, September 26, and Saturday, September 27.
The Student Run Play is a special tradition where students take the lead in every aspect of production — from directing and acting to stage crew, lighting, costumes, and sound. This unique opportunity allows students to step into leadership roles and gain hands-on experience in all areas of theater.
Perfect for audiences of all ages, this enchanting show runs 70 minutes plus an intermission, making it a fun, family-friendly outing. While not required, attendees are encouraged to dress in costumes or fancy party attire to fully embrace the magic of the evening.
There will be three performances over the two days:
- Friday, September 26 at 7 p.m.
- Saturday, September 27 at 2 p.m.
- Saturday, September 27 at 7 p.m.
Tickets are available now at NHStheater.Ludus.com or may be purchased at the door.
