Cinderella: the true story
Cinderella: the True Story catapults the classic fairy tale into a riot of snark, slapstick, and sparkling satire. Forget the meek maiden—this Cinderella refuses to be trampled by a tax‑happy King too distracted by his feud with Baron Von Schnortezenpfeffer to grant her an audience. With a Fairy Godmother who bungles every spell, Stepsisters hopelessly obsessed with gowns and glitter, and a Prince who falls head over heels for wit instead of slippers, this romp turns tradition on its head. Commissioned for the 77th anniversary of the prestigious Nine O’Clock Players, it’s a laugh‑packed spectacle where sight gags, wordplay, and sharp humor prove that brains, boldness, and a dash of rebellion make the truest happily‑ever‑after.
“Snarky wit—Cinderella rebels!”
“Cinderella fights taxes, wins laughs, and true love.”
“Fairy tale turned upside‑down: wit beats slippers.”
“Cinderella’s brains outshine gowns, gags, and glass.”
Written especially for the 77th anniversary of the Nine O’Clock Players by multiple-Emmy nominated animation writer Scott Guy, and music by composer Nick DeGregorio.
