This year the ASC Theatre presented Cinderella. A special alumni matinee was held on December 9th, where ASC alumni filled all 220 seats!

After the performance, a special reception was held. Attendees enjoyed ice cream cups and Cinderella cupcakes.

The kids could also have their picture taken with the characters. The cast was fantastic with the little ones. Cinderella even had two little boys ask for her autograph. It was a very enjoyable and unforgettable Sunday afternoon at ASC.
