This humorous adaptation of Frederick Ashton’s famous ballet features the traditional score by Prokoviev and professionally designed sets and costumes. Director and principal choreographer Danika Pramik-Holdaway transforms the talented teens and tykes into wickedly funny stepsisters, a mysterious fairy godmother, a charming prince and a poor girl in search of her glass slipper. Fri. (Mar. 23 only) at 7, Sat. & Sun. at 1. Casa del Prado Theatre, 1650 El Prado, Balboa Park, 619-233-3060; sdcyb.org.
