Cinderella - A Show for the Entire Family!
Glass slippers are BACK this summer—thanks to Tri-Valley Theatre Company! 👑✨
Get ready for a magical night at the theater with Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella, the Broadway adaptation of the beloved classic. This isn’t your grandma’s fairy tale—this version blends timeless songs like “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible/It’s Possible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago” with a fresh, funny, and romantic script by Tony-nominee Douglas Carter Beane.
It’s sweet, smart, and just the right amount of sparkly. An amazing show for the entire family! Don’t miss your chance to see this modern take on a story we all know and love!

Bodrum Serving Up Tasty Turkish Cuisine in Dublin!
I’m a huge fan of Fatih Ulas’s other Tri-Valley and East Bay restaurants, so I’m genuinely excited about his newest spot—Bodrum Mezze & Cocktails!
I haven’t had a chance to dine in just yet, but I couldn’t wait to give you a little sneak peek. The Turkish-inspired menu looks amazing—grilled meats, fresh seafood, and delicious small plates made for sharing. 😍
