Ashley
A Downeast Cinderella

Ashley is an original musical version of the Cinderella story set on Passamaquoddy Bay in Maine. This is a story anyone who has ever dealt with a bully can appreciate. The young heroine Ashley overcomes her very difficult situation without the benefit of magic or a Prince Charming. This new show is about resilience, the healing power of nature, and the triumph of kindness over cruelty.  The emotions of the story are beautifully expressed in songs written by Linda especially for this show, including Morning Glory and A Downeast Kind of Girl. A study guide is available for schools. 30 minutes. Appropriate for grades K - 8 and for families.
