SEEKING

Ensemble: Singers/Dancers to play an ensemble of fairytale characters. Great movers and advanced dancers. Strong partnering, puppetry, and/or tumbling experience a plus.

Actors of all gender identities, ethnicities, ages, and disabilities are strongly encouraged to audition for all roles. Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella is written with binary gender terms. While the character descriptions are limited to binary pronouns, we encourage gender non-conforming, genderqueer, transgender, and non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify with.
