Win tickets to ‘Cinderella’ ballet at Saroyan Theatre

It’s an annual tradition: the State Street Ballet of Santa Barbara joins forces with the Valley Performing Arts Council and Fresno Ballet Theatre to put on a full-length ballet featuring professional and student dancers.

This year’s offering is a light-hearted “Cinderella,” which will be performed 2 p.m. Saturday at the Saroyan Theatre.

I’m giving away two pairs of orchestra tickets to lucky readers.

Enter by leaving a comment on this story answering this question: Do you think the wicked stepsisters in “Cinderella” get a bum rap in the fairytale? (Or, if you aren’t feeling eloquent, just say why you’d like to see the show.) You have until 5 p.m. Thursday to enter. Winners will be chosen at random and notified via Facebook message. Be sure to check your Facebook message requests Thursday evening. (If I haven’t heard back from a winner in a reasonable period of time, I reserve the right to pick another.) You’ll be able to pick up your tickets at the box office half an hour before the show.
