SCRIPT:

NARRATOR: Cinderella lives in a house with her Stepmother and her two Stepsisters. They are very mean to her and make her do all the housework.

STEPMOTHER: Cinderella, wash the dishes! Cinderella, clean the floor! Cinderella, work, work, work!

NARRATOR: The Stepmother is cruel and lazy. The Stepsisters never help. One is fat with a big nose. The other is thin with large ears.

STEPSISTER 1: Cinderella, come here!

STEPSISTER 2: Cinderella, sweep the floor!

STEPSISTER 1: Cinderella, clean my shoes!

STEPSISTER 2: Cinderella, comb my hair!

NARRATOR: Cinderella is kind, beautiful, and hardworking. One day, the family receives an invitation from the palace.

STEPSISTER 1: Mother, read it!

STEPSISTER 2: What does it say?

STEPMOTHER: It says that every young woman is invited to a royal ball!

CINDERELLA: Oh, I would love to go! I love to dance!

STEPSISTERS (laughing): You? Go to the ball? Don’t be silly!

CINDERELLA: Yes, I want to go.

NARRATOR: Cinderella works hard making dresses for her Stepmother and Stepsisters. But she doesn’t have time to make one for herself.

STEPSISTERS: We’re going to the ball! We’re going to the ball!

STEPMOTHER: If you don’t have a dress, you can’t go.

NARRATOR: Cinderella sits down and begins to cry.

CINDERELLA: I don’t have a nice dress. Mine is old and ugly.

STEPSISTERS: Too bad! Goodbye, Cinderella!

NARRATOR: Suddenly, a magical woman appears.

CINDERELLA: Who are you?

FAIRY GODMOTHER: I’m your Fairy Godmother, and I’m here to help you.

NARRATOR: With a wave of her wand, Cinderella’s dress becomes beautiful. On her feet are sparkling glass slippers.

CINDERELLA: It’s amazing! Thank you!

FAIRY GODMOTHER: But remember — you must return home before midnight!

CINDERELLA: I won’t forget!

NARRATOR: At the ball, everyone stares at Cinderella.

GIRL 1: Who is that beautiful girl?

GIRL 2: She looks like a princess!

NARRATOR: The Prince sees her and walks over.

PRINCE: Would you like to dance?

CINDERELLA: Yes, I would love to.

NARRATOR: They dance all evening. But then…

CLOCK: DONG! DONG! DONG! (up to twelve)

CINDERELLA: Oh no! I must go!

NARRATOR: Cinderella runs away. One of her glass slippers falls off on the palace steps.

PRINCE: Wait! What’s your name? Where do you live?

NARRATOR: He picks up the slipper and sighs.

PRINCE: I must find her… but I don’t even know her name.

NARRATOR: The next day, the Prince visits every house in town.

PRINCE: Is the girl who wore this slipper here?

WOMAN 1: No, she’s not here.

NARRATOR: Finally, he arrives at Cinderella’s house.

PRINCE: Is the girl from the ball here?

STEPMOTHER:Yes, she is! Try it on, daughter!

STEPSISTER 1: Ow! It’s too small! My foot is too big!

NARRATOR: Just then, Cinderella walks in.

CINDERELLA: That slipper belongs to me!

STEPSISTERS: Ha! You wish!

CINDERELLA: I have the other slipper.

NARRATOR: She puts it on, and once again, looks as beautiful as the night of the ball.

PRINCE: I found you! Will you marry me?

CINDERELLA: Yes! I will!

NARRATOR: Cinderella’s kindness and patience were stronger than cruelty. She never gave up hope — and in the end, her dreams came true. And so, Cinderella and the Prince lived happily ever after.
