The Theater program and the English department presents:

"Glass Slippers" Student Production
Black Box Theater, Room BG-21

Abigail, a stressed-out TV executive, is developing a new show called “The Cinderella Chronicles,” which promises to turn the classic fable into a soapy tale of class inequality, center-left politics, and feminist indignation.

There’s a few problems: She has no cast, her assistant is MIA and her head writer is threatening to quit!

Determined to salvage the situation by using the hardball tactics of her male bosses, Abigail starts to lose herself—until an overworked temp named Cynthia stumbles into the office as if from thin air. When even a cup of coffee begins to taste like a magical potion, and Cynthia’s battalion of shady stepsisters turn up to pitch a “lifestyle” brand, Abigail is forced to summon her own best instincts to navigate the delicate space where fairy tales end and real life begins.

Written by Quinn Eli, assistant professor of English and directed by Dave Ebersole, “Glass Slippers” introduces you to a new interpretation of Grimm’s classic play, “Cinderella.”
