Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella is the timeless musical fairy tale of Ella, a kind young
woman forced into servitude by her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. Despite her hardships,
she dreams of a better life. With the magical help of her Fairy Godmother, she is transformed
for one enchanted evening at the royal ball, where she captures the heart of the Prince.
When the clock strikes midnight and the spell fades, a single glass slipper leads to a
kingdom-wide search, proving that kindness, courage, and hope can change a life forever.
Filled with beloved songs like “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible,” and “Ten Minutes
Ago,” this classic musical celebrates romance, transformation, and the power of believing
in yourself.
Featuring our talented, award-winning Mainstage cast, this magical production promises stunning costumes, unforgettable music, and a story the whole family will love.

Staging a Bright Future
Every gift—large or small—has truly moved us forward, and we are deeply grateful for the incredible support we’ve received so far. Because of your generosity, we’ve already raised $67,541 (as of December 22), bringing us closer to our goal—but there is still important work ahead.
As we enter Phase 3 of our campaign, our goal is to reach $100,000 by year’s end to ensure Saltwater Performing Arts continues to thrive for our students and our community. That means we’re just over two-thirds of the way there, with $32,459 left to go.

Many in our community haven’t yet had the opportunity to participate, which means there is still a powerful chance to make an impact. You can help by making a year-end donation, sharing our campaign with friends and family, or even hosting your own online fundraiser on our behalf. Every action—no matter the size—brings us one step closer to keeping exceptional theatre experiences alive and shining on our stage.
Thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us finish the year strong.
Together, we can cross the finish line.
Celebrating Excellence: GTC 2026
At Saltwater Performing Arts, we are beyond thrilled to reflect on the incredible recognition we received at the Southeastern Theatre Conference (SETC) in Baltimore spring 2025. This prestigious event brings together some of the brightest minds and most talented performers from across the region, and we couldn’t have been more proud to represent our community with such honor.
Our SETC Awards: Best Musical Directionm Best Choreographed Performance, Best Costume Design, All-Star Cast Award: Ella Arens (Mrs. Wormwood), All-Star Cast Award: Jayson McLaughlin (Ms. Trunchbull) These accolades are a testament to the extraordinary talent, dedication, and passion poured into every production at Saltwater.
And Now… A New Competition Season Begins!
As we launch our new competition season, we are excited to announce that Saltwater will be taking two productions to the Georgia Theatre Conference (GTC) in Augusta, October 14–17:
✈️ Come From Away
🧚 Finding Neverland
We are incredibly proud of our performers and creative teams and can’t wait to see these powerful productions take the stage in Augusta.
Thank You for Your Support ! While we celebrate these well-earned honors, we are already hard at work preparing for what’s next. None of these achievements — past or future — would be possible without the unwavering support of our amazing audience, our dedicated families, our talented cast and crew, and our entire Saltwater community.
We are so grateful for each of you and can’t wait to continue this journey together as we kick off another unforgettable season. The best is yet to come. 🎭✨ If you would like to partner with us in this journey, please contact the office at 912.510.9700.
