Pipeline Theatre Company will present THE ASH GIRL by Tony Award nominee Timberlake Wertenbaker (Our Country's Good). Jessika Doyel (Partial Comfort) directs this unconventional adaptation of Grimm's Cinderella tale. Performances run April 18 - May 5 at The Connelly Theater (220 East 4th Street between Ave A & B).
In THE ASH GIRL, the seven deadly sins writhe in the forest, consuming anyone who crosses their paths while a young girl hides amongst the ashes. As Ash Girl fights through the fires to find her happy ending, relive the wonder and fear that Cinderella stories so often gloss over. It is a world of mythical proportions with fairies in the mirror, brave field mice, and stepmothers with only the best of intentions.THE ASH GIRL stars Meagan Kensil in the title role and War Horse's Ian Lassiter as the Prince with Sam Chapin, Jenny Donheiser, Megan Linde, Kate Manfre, Sydney Matthews, Dawn Newman, Shane O'Grady, Teddy Rodger, Rebecca Schoeffer, Ari Schrier, Arielle Siegel, Erica Smith, Jordan Smith, Nicole Spiezio, Camille St. James, Josh Woodward, and Zachary Zimbler. The production team includes Andy Yanni (set), Jeffrey Toombs (lighting), Raphael Mishler (props), Seth Clayton (sound), and Abbey Steere (costumes).Videos
