‘Cinderella’: Ashland High School Theatre will present Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella.” With its fresh new take on the beloved tale of a young woman who is transformed from a chambermaid into a princess, this hilarious and romantic musical combines the Cinderella story’s classic elements — glass slippers, pumpkin and a beautiful ball, along with some surprising twists. More than just a pretty face with the right shoe size, this Cinderella is a contemporary figure living in a fairytale setting. She is a spirited young woman with savvy and soul who doesn’t let her rags or her gowns trip her up in her quest for kindness, compassion and forgiveness. She longs to escape the drudgery of her work at home and instead work to make the world a better place. She not only fights for her own dreams, but forces the prince to open his eyes to the world and realize his dreams, too. This contemporary take on the classic tale features Rodgers & Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible” and “Ten Minutes Ago,” alongside an updated libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane. Directed by Michael Jenkinson. Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays, and Thursday and 2 p.m. Sundays, March 4-13. A livestream of the show will be available Thursday through Sunday, March 10-13. Tickets are $20, $15 for students under 18 and seniors over 65. Tickets can be purchased online only.

‘The Hound of the Baskervilles’: Sherlock Holmes’ most spine-chilling mystery is placed in a modern setting in this version — with suspense, humor and terror. Sir Henry is heir to the vast Baskerville fortune, a legacy that comes with a family curse: death at the fangs of a horror that prowls the moor. Only Holmes can stop the beast. While mysterious lights signal Baskerville Hall and the hound terrifies the countryside, the sleuthing begins and suspicion falls on sinister servants, butterfly collectors, ladies in distress, and escaped convicts. Who wrote the letter that summoned the hound? Is Sir Henry’s romance with the lovely Kathy doomed? Is the supernatural at work? Written by Tim Kelly, based on the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Directed by Tim Coatney. Performances are set for 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. Sundays, Feb. 25-March 13. Tickets are $18.

‘Camelot’: An idealistic young King Arthur hopes to create a kingdom built on honor and dignity, embodied by his Knights of The Round Table. His ideals, however, are tested when his lovely queen falls in love with a young knight, and the fate of the kingdom hangs in the balance. Camelot Theatre takes the classic story of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and the Knights of Round Table and updates the locale to a metal foundry where the story is told from the point of view of the blue-collar workers — a story of kindness, courage, and community. This contemporary production has all the Lerner and Loewe music gems that Camelot the musical is known for, including, “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “I Loved You Once in Silence,” “The Lusty Month of May,” and of course, “Camelot.” Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays through March 13.

‘Newsies’: The musical tells the captivating true story about the 1899 Newsboys strike in New York City, when this band of underdogs become unlikely heroes when they stand up to the most powerful men in New York. It’s a rousing tale about working together and fighting for what’s right. Based on Disney’s 1992 motion picture, the stage version introduces eight brand-new songs by the original team of Alan Menken and Jack Feldman while keeping many of the beloved songs from the film, including “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day,” “King of New York,” and “Santa Fe.” Filled with one heart-pounding number after another, it’s a high-energy explosion of song and dance.

‘Puffs’: This is the story of Wayne Hopkins, a regular boy who finds out he’s a wizard and goes to school in England where he makes two best friends and has adventures. This perhaps sounds familiar. But Wayne is sorted as a Puff, and he and the other Puffs simply want to learn how to be wizards, make friends, and avoid attacks by evil wizards. Filled with Harry Potter jokes and ’90s references, “Puffs” is a hilarious ensemble parody of everyone’s favorite wizard series as told from the perspective of “not everyone’s favorite” wizard house. No matter your relationship to the series, this show has something for everyone and will keep you laughing the whole way through. Puffs also comes with a great deal of heart, with its important message — “Be proud of who you are.” This play is recommended for children 10 and up. Directed by Julia Cuppy.

‘Moon Over Buffalo’: George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s, are performing “Private Lives” and “Cyrano De Bergerac” in rep in Buffalo, New York, with five actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinée, and if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of “The Scarlet Pimpernel.” Unfortunately, for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does go wrong, abetted by a visit from their daughter’s clueless fiancé and hilarious uncertainty about which play they’re actually performing. Performances are set for 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, Mondays and select Wednesdays, and 1 p.m. Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays through April 10. Were it a movie, “Moon Over Buffalo” would be Rated PG, with some coarse humor, alcohol use and adult situations. Tickets are $43, $39 or $29.
