2019-20 TYA Season
CINDERELLA!
Adapted by Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill and Margaret E. Hall
Based on the classic Fairy Tale by Charles Perrault
Original Score by Josh D. Smith
Directed by Margaret E. Hall
Who wouldn’t want a night off from the mountain of chores foisted upon them by a ruthless step-mother and the constant bullying of two truly unkind step-sisters? Join Cinderella on the adventure of her life when, in one short night, she will witness magic, travel to the palace, dance with the Prince, experience real friendship, and gain a true sense of self. With the help of her rapping and toe tapping Fairy God Mother, Cinderella will see that there is more to life than the unfortunate step-family thrust upon her (and they may learn a lesson or two as well). In this new musical adaptation students will explore themes such as jealousy, self-esteem, good-vs-evil and finding one’s voice. A fun and upbeat new twist, with doo-wop inspired music, this adaptation of Cinderella will leave you saying “the future is mine for the choosing!”

Plays Prince/Ensemble: Male 20s-30s. He is the cool cat in town – think Conrad Birdie from ‘Bye Bye Birdie’. A bit restless in his life but fun. Must be able to dance and the ability rap, a plus.
Actor 1:
Plays Cinderella: Female – 20s-30s. Good natured and kind, Cinderella always finds a way to improve her own situation, not matter how bad it is. Ever the optimist, she takes each moment to learn and grow into herself.
Actor 5:
Plays Narrator, King, Puppeteer: Male - late 20s-30s. A storyteller with verbal dexterity, able to weave a spell enabling young audiences to enter a “once upon a time” world. Must have experience with puppetry.
