The timeless enchantment of this classic fairytale comes to life just in time for the holidays.  In a far off kingdom, a young girl, Cinderella,  is made to serve her wicked stepmother and her cruel stepsisters.  Despite her situation, Cinderella remains kind and good and hopeful that a wish might be granted and that her life might be transformed.  Will she make it to the Ball to meet the Prince?  It’s possible!  Kings and Queens, Princes and Fairy Godmothers, mice and magic  all come together to tell this heartwarming tale, with extraordinary songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein and all of the hopeful magic you need for the holiday season.  

ImprovAcadia’s

December 4-21, 2025

A Christmas Carol like you’ve never seen it before—because it changes every night.
This adults-only holiday comedy from ImprovAcadia and Penobscot Theatre Company is back after two sold-out runs in 2018 and 2022. With improvised songs, wild plot twists, and more wigs than sense, this unscripted spin on the Dickens classic is fast, filthy, and full of holiday cheer.

Don’t miss your shot to laugh your way through the most unpredictable Christmas show in Maine!
