November 29, 2021 – December 26, 2021


This holiday season, Cinderella is stepping into her own shoes! Led by an all-female team of creators, this festive take on the classic fairytale is inspired by Afro-Latino music and dance. It is a perfect fit for audiences of all ages and all backgrounds!

Directed and Adapted by Maria Simpkins

Choreographed by Janine Baumgardner

Playing November 27 – December 26 23

Out of an abundance of caution, the run of Cinderella will end early on December 23, 2021 so we can avoid gathering in large groups after folks have enjoyed the holidays. All ticketholders for the December 26 performance have been contacted about refunds and exchanges. Please email boxoffice@synetictheater.org with any questions. Happy Holidays!
