Friday, June 17: “Cinderella” (Rain date is Saturday, June 18th)
Disney’s 2015, live-action take on the classic fairy tale Cinderella stars Lily James as the put-upon young woman forced to endure a life of labor at the hands of her stepmother after her father dies unexpectedly. Ella maintains her good spirits and eventually strikes up a friendship with a stranger in the woods who turns out to be the prince. When the royal court holds a gala ball, Cinderella wants nothing more than to attend and, although her stepmother won’t allow it, she gets help from a surprising source. Before the movie, there will be a Cinderella performer to meet guests in the castle and face painting will be held outside.
