ROLES:
Ella (Female, 16–26) A good-natured girl despite the unpleasant environment in which she lives. Ella does not allow her step family's demeaning treatment of her to make her feel inferior. Beneath her rags and quiet demeanor, she is charismatic, beautiful and funny; idealistic and hopeful. Her passion to help others captures the attention of Alexander.
Alexander (Male, 16-26) is a warm and sensitive young man without pretensions. He is in no hurry to marry, preferring to find a bride in his own time. Despite his misgivings about the ball his father has planned, he goes along with it so as not to hurt his feelings. When he meets Ella for the second time in one day, her insight is enough to make him realize that she is different from all others.
Madame Arrington (Female, 20’s-50’s) Ella’s selfish stepmother; the epitome of vanity and fashion; a ravenous social climber who values wealth, status, and material possessions above all else. Self-absorbed and focused on the needs of her own daughters at Ella’s expense. She tends to ignore Ella unless she needs something done. She does not pay enough attention to Ella to see her good qualities and is self-deluded about the qualities of her own daughters.
Esmerelda (Female, 16-26 years old) Sour & awkward.
Prudence (Female, 16-26 years old) Dim-witted and squeaky.
Ella’s stepsisters. Like their mother, their attitudes toward Ella are indifferent and inconsiderate rather than downright cruel. They think of her as a nuisance unless she’s doing chores. They are also somewhat resentful of her good nature. They can be brash, self-centered, materialistic, loud, sassy, and bratty, and have a ridiculously high, but unfounded opinion of themselves.
Fairy Godmother (Female / 20’s-40’s) A magical and protective Godmother that shows up just in time, to change Ella’s life with her magic. Godmother, who is personally assigned to Ella challenges Ella's notions of wishes and dreams, and lends her magical assistance to give her an unforgettable night.
The King /Ella’s Father (Male, Age 30’s-50’s) Ella’s proud father / Good-natured King who is on a mission to see his son walk in his footsteps to become the future King, and find the perfect bride along the way. With concern about his son’s happiness, the King arranges a ball at the Palace, in an effort to help Alexander meet this special girl.
Catherine (Girl, 8-12) Charming and sweet girl who befriends Ella, and occasionally meets her in the forest, where she is teaching her to read. Through books and the companionship of her friendship, Ella brings a world of adventure to this less fortunate girl.
Nicholas (Boy, 8-12) Curious and adventurous boy who befriends Ella, and occasionally meets her in the forest, where she is teaching him to read. Through books and the companionship of her friendship, Ella brings a world of adventure to this less fortunate boy.
Ensemble includes Townspeople, Palace Staff, Maidens and more
