The Play
The time is the present and 1796-7. A bitter public battle erupts when it is revealed that the site of a new museum enshrining American liberty is the ground where a small building once stood that housed George Washington's slaves. A Black American political activist, Salif Camara, sits-in on the site demanding that the house be fully recreated as a reminder of the reality of slavery and a memorial to the lives of the slave. A controversial Black-American conservative author, Cadence Lane, who argues that blacks must stop acting as victims if they want to achieve equality, opposes him. The conflict is juxtaposed against the story of Oney Judge, one of Washington's slaves, as she struggles with question of escape.

Synopsis:
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As aapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and aults alike still soar when the slipper fits.

Parts Available:
Cinderella
Her Fairy Godmother
Her Stepmother
Grace - her awkward stepsister
Joy - her sullen stepsister
Christopher - a charming young prince
Lionel - his royal steward
Queen Constantina - his mother
King Maximillian - his father
Charles - a cat who will become a Coachman
4 White Mice - who will become Horses
A Dove - who will become a Footman
Large singing-dancing ensemble of Villagers, Merchants, Maidens and Palace Guests
