The timeless magic of Cinderella takes centre stage in Odessa, Ont., as Torrent Productions debuts its pantomime at Emmanuel United Church.

Stephanie Graham, co-artistic producer and choreographer, said the show is designed to bring audiences together from across southeastern Ontario.

“Odessa is a great little central place between Napanee and Kingston, and we wanted to pull all the people within the region together to this amazing little town,” she said.

The production has a personal touch for director Robert Torr, whose love for pantomime was sparked by a childhood memory. “It was a magical experience,” Torr said. “I remember my grandma sneaking out a Dairy Milk bar at the theatre, and we shared that little moment of naughtiness together.”

Lead actor Aly MacFarlane promises audiences fresh twists in the classic tale. “We have a lot of fun surprises that I don’t think the audience will see coming,” she said.
