Cinderella Shoe Drive

This holiday season, Cinderella won’t be the only person receiving a new pair of shoes!  As Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella takes the stage, The 5th Avenue Theatre is joining forces with Treehouse, a King County non-profit benefitting foster children, to collect new shoes for these youngsters.  

Through December 31, if you bring a pair of new shoes to The 5th Avenue Theatre Box Office (1308 5th Avenue),or drop them off  in the lobby during your performance of Cinderella, you will receive a  coupon for a 25% discount on your next ticket purchase!

Children in foster care live in an uncertain world, moving frequently with very little notice, and often just a small bag filled with their possessions. Be it sneakers, sandals, or snow boots, infants through teens will welcome the warmth and comfort of a new pair of shoes. 

Be sure to make a donation by the final performance of Cinderella on December 31st.  We’ll make sure they get to Treehouse
