VENTURA COUNTY, CA -- Starring Australian television sensation dancer Aaron Smyth and Prima Ballerina Jennifer Rowe the timeless tale of Cinderella is performed in a thoroughly modern way June 6-7 at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center.

With state-of-the-art theatrics, video effects and perfection in choreography, the Ventura County Ballet Company (VCBC), a nonprofit organization, will present Cinderella, The Ballet, bringing with it professional dancers and boisterous laughter and humor.

Rodney Gustafson, Cinderella´s choreographer and former member of the American Ballet Theatre, adapts the timeless, romantic beauty of this classic ballet for a new era to enjoy with a unique twist.

That twist is drawn out by Cinderella´s two homely stepsisters, hilariously played by Sergei Domrachev and John Piel, who bring over-the-top and outrageous demeanors to the stage, much to the delight of all.

"Casting prima power ballerina Jennifer Rowe as Cinderella and Australian television dancing superstar Aaron Smyth as Prince Charming adds a lot of anticipation to our performances," says Kathleen Noblin, founder of the Ventura County Ballet Company. "Aaron is flying in from New York to perform with our ballet and the excitement is at a fever pitch with our students young and old!"

Tickets range from $9 to $23. Children 10 years and under are $10. Tickets are available online at venturacountyballet.com, or call the box office at (805) 486-2424.
