The Alliance Theatre present CINDERELLA AND FELLA

Atlanta's nationally acclaimed ALLIANCE THEATRE is pleased to present Cinderella and Fella, a contemporary musical spin on the Cinderella fairytale. Rosemary Newcott, the Sally G. Tomlinson Artistic Director of Theatre for Youth and Families, directs this family friendly one-act production. Cinderella and Fella will run twice a day on Saturdays and Sundays, March 19 - April, 2017. Opening night is Tuesday, March 21, at 7:00 p.m.

Written by Atlanta playwright Janece Shaffer (Troubadour, The Geller Girls) with music & lyrics by Shaffer and Atlanta composer, music director, and actor S. Renee Clark, Cinderella and Fella is more high-tops than glass slipper and is fueled by the magic of lightning bugs, singing cicadas, and oozing mud. The young prince, who was raised by an overbearing parent, searches the kingdom for a best friend ready for adventure. Cinderella, who has spent countless days pulling her ungrateful stepmother around in her tiny house, fits the bill. Cinderella and Fella is a story for this generation's little princes and princesses, filled with humor and wonder.

"I wanted to revisit a story we all know so well and find new meaning in something that is so familiar," said Playwright Janece Shaffer. "When I was a kid, I loved being outside - that's where there was real magic - all the night sounds, creeks, honeysuckle. And with this Cinderella, I wanted to remind us of the magic available to all of us."

The cast for Cinderella and Fella includes Terry Burrell (Step Mom), S. Renee Clark (Spirit Mom), Courtenay Collins and Marcie Millard (Queen Shelayley/Squirrel), Molly Coyne (Vamnesia/Porcupine), Scott E. DePoy (BoBo), Jeremiah Parker Hobbs (Prince Maurice), India Tyree (Cinderella), and Brian Walker (Lavoris).

The creative team includes Kat Conley (Set Design), Sydney Roberts (Costume Design) Clay Benning (Sound Design), and Jake DeGroot (Lighting Design). Jason Hines serves as the Puppet Coach and Ameenah Kaplan is the Movement Consultant.
