This iconic ballet is some of the most fun you’ll ever have so be sure to clear your schedule 💃🏻

Meet your Cinderella, Tate Flicker:

Tate is a second-year in the College studying Physics.

🩰 What is your character like/ what is your interpretation of your character?:

“Cinderella is a character who has not given up on life or love, despite her difficult circumstances. Throughout the ballet, she discovers her own strength and learns how to go after the future she wants.”

🩰 What are you most excited about dancing this role?:

“I’m so excited to dance in a ballet that is both comedic and full of fairytale magic. I’ve had so much fun developing my character alongside the other roles in this ballet.”

See Tate and the cast in Cinderella at Logan Performance Hall this Saturday and Sunday at 7 and 2pm!! Purchase tickets through our bio.

Meet the “Prissy” Stepsister, Peyton Cunningham:

Peyton is a 1st Year Sociology PhD Student

🩰 What is your character like/ what is your interpretation of your character?:

“The role of the stepsister, whom I have named "Prissy," is sassy and self-absorbed. She and her sister are constantly vying for attention, praise, mommy's love, and a shot with the prince. She loves citrus, her own reflection, and convincing others she is indeed a size 7.5 shoe.”

🩰 What are you most excited about dancing this role?:

“This part has been a blast to rehearse because of the role's silly, over-the-top personality, and how fun it is to interact with the other characters through her.”

See Peyton and the cast in Cinderella at Logan Performance Hall this Saturday and Sunday at 7 and 2pm!! Purchase tickets through our bio.
