C.A.T.S. PROUDLY PRESENTS Rodgers and Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA – a musical written for television, but later played on stage, with music by Richard Rodgers and a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based upon the fairy tale Cinderella, particularly the French version Cendrillon, ou la petite pantoufle de verre (“Cinderella, or The Little Glass Slipper”), by Charles Perrault. The story concerns a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered stepsisters, who dreams of a better life. With the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a princess and finds true love with the kingdom’s prince.

HAROLD MELVIN’S BLUE NOTES
SATURDAY, APRIL 11 – 7:00 p.m.
Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes are an American soul and R&B vocal group. One of the most popular Philadelphia soul groups of the 1970s, the group’s repertoire included soul, R&B, doo-wop, and disco. Founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the middle of the 1950s as The Charlemagnes, the group is most noted for several hits on Gamble and Huff‘s Philadelphia International label between 1972 and 1976, although they performed and recorded until Melvin’s death in 1997. Despite group founder and original lead singer Harold Melvin’s top billing, the Blue Notes’ most famous member was Teddy Pendergrass, their lead singer during the successful years at Philadelphia International.

C.A.T.S. Presents August Wilson’s
FENCES
Saturday, August 22 – 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, August 23 – 2:30 p.m.
Troy Maxson’s yard is his refuge. A sanctuary where, at long last, the grass is finally green. But it can always be greener, right? Troy’s story is both unique and universal — a portrait of the unsteady bridge between fathers and sons, and the wives and mothers who stand cheering for both sides while hanging their own dreams out to dry. A story strong enough to bear the weight of injustice and yearning and love, at its best and its most destructive. And it’s bigger — it’s more — than all of that. Yet it fits snug on our Hill stage, the perfect platform for a could‑have‑been‑great man. A lyrical, heartbreaking love song sung in August Wilson’s unparalleled poetry, about people whose hearts beat vast and deep.
