The Hatboro native and Temple University alumna says it's simply a dream to be playing this iconic princess and to be performing in her hometown parade.
"I watched it as a kid on Thanksgiving morning," Brunner says, "but I've never actually been to the parade. This is going to be a first time for me to actually be there. It's very exciting to be performing in it. It's kind of surreal."

Brunner began her professional career, at a young age, at the Walnut Street Theatre. This moment as "Cinderella" is very full-circle for her.
"When I was, I believe, eight years old, the Walnut was doing 'The Sound of Music' and I auditioned for one of the Von Trapp children," Brunner says. "That was my first professional show, right here at the Walnut. I caught the theater bug."
Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" is at the Walnut Street Theatre through December 31.
