Here is the dialouge for the Entre Acte:

Aubrie: Welcome to Spanish Fork Youtheatre’s production of Cinderella. We will be presenting today a beloved fairy tale, with origins that date back 600 years before the birth of Christ. There are many different versions of this tale and they come from the four corners of the earth.

Cheynne: There are more than 500 versions of Cinderella in Europe alone. Some vary widely, like the Norwegian tale “The Maid on the Glass Mountain” in which Cinderlad wins a beautiful princess.

Megan: Others, like the traditional German version are quite bloody with the step-sisters cutting off their heels and toes to fit into the golden slipper. But most, all over the world follow a similar pattern.

Rachel: In Vietnam, the story is called “The Brocaded Slipper”, in Africa, “Nomi and the Magic Fish”, and in Arab countries, “The Golden Sandal”.

Julianna: The story has been told many different ways, such as a full length novel “The Glass Slipper” by Eleanor Farjeon, to the toddler book “Cinderella Penguin” by Janet Perlman, to a fully animated motion picture produced by Walt Disney.

Brielle:One version has a fairy dove and a magic hazelwood tree as Cinderella’s helpers.

Garred: Cinder-Elly by Frances Minters is a modern rhyme version set in New York City. With the help of a bag lady Fairy Godmother, Cinder-Elly meets the star of a basketball team.

Ari: In a native American version of Cinderella, Little Burnt Face has two mean sisters. She wins the love of an Invisible Warrior by seeing him and describing what his bow is made of.

Sydney: In the book “Favorite Children’s Stories from China and Tibet” by Lotta Carswell Hume. Shi-Chieh befriends a magic fish, her jealous step-mother kills it. But Shi-Chieh finds her wishes granted by praying over the fish’s bones.

Jessica:The Korean Cinderella by Shirley Climo, tells of Pear blossom who is given a series of impossible tasks by her evil step-mother. Magical animals help her achieve them. And though she is not transformed into a princess, she wins the love of a wealthy magistrate.

Cheyenne B:Tattercoats is a bittersweet, old English story with a magic gooseherd, and a prince who falls in love with Tattercoats even in her rags.

Mckenna:The version we will use to present Cinderella is taken from the story written by Charles Perrault.

Julie: Charles Perrault was born in Paris, January 1628. Son of an upper-class bourgeois family, he attended the best schools and becomes a lawyer in 1651.

Chloe: His Stories or “Tales from Times Past, with Morals” and “Tales of Mother Goose” gave him great popularity and opened up a new literary genre: fairy tale.

Courtney: Among his most famous versions of fairy tales we can find, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, Puss in Boots, and Little Red Riding Hood.

June: Perrault could not have predicted that his reputation for future generations would rest almost entirely on a slender book published in 1697 containing eight simple stories.

Jannesa: Charles Perrault, did not publish the book in his own name, but rather under the name of his son Pierre.

Cameryn: Perrault chose his stories well, and he recorded them with wit and style. His narratives belong to a story telling tradition that has been shared by countless generations.

Cheyenne: He did not invent these tales--even in his day their plots were well know-- but he gave them literary legitimacy.

MaiLia: Perrault always added a moral to his fairy tales. The Story of Cinderella, has two different morals, the first on being...

Group1: Beauty is a treasure rare.
Who complains of being fair?

Group 2: Yet there’s still a something more
That good fairies have in store.

Group 3: ‘Tis that little gift called grace,
Weaves a spell round form and face,

Group 4: Of each word makes magic, too
Lends a charm to all you do.

Group 5: This it was and nothing less--
Cinderella’s fairy dress!

Group 1: And if you would learn the way
How to get that gift today--

Group 2:How to point the golden dart
That shall pierce the Prince’s heart--

All: Ladies, you have but to be
Just as kind and sweet as she!

Megan K: In other words.. Beauty in a woman is a rare treasure that will always be admired. Graciousness, however, is priceless and of even greater value.

Kayla: This is what Cinderella's godmother gave to her when she taught her to behave like a queen.

Baily: Young women, in the winning of a heart, graciousness is more important than a beautiful hairdo. It is a true gift of the fairies.

Natalie: Without it nothing is possible; with it, one can do anything. The second moral is...

E.J.:Godmothers are useful things
Even when without the wings.

Garred:Wisdom may be yours and wit,
Courage, industry, and grit--

Everyone:What’s the use of these at all,
If you lack a Friend to call.

Zoey: Without doubt it is a great advantage to have intelligence, courage, good breeding, and common sense. These, and similar talents come only from heaven, and it is good to have them.

June: However, even these may fail to bring you success, without the blessing of a friend. Please sit back and enjoy our show

Everyone: “Cinderella”.
