AUDITION INFORMATION
We're thrilled to bring Muni audiences a fresh adaptation of this timeless tale. This summer, Cinderella will not only discover the power within herself to shape her destiny, she'll also play a pivotal role in helping the prince find the confidence needed to lead his kingdom towards a more just world. We are committed to assembling a cast that is diverse and inclusive, mirroring the richness of our community. We extend an invitation to performers of all backgrounds to join us on this enchanting journey. If you've got the skills in ballet and/or tumbling, we'd love to add your magic to the stage. Here's to another season of Muni Magic and the transformative power of storytelling!
In this show, race is not pivotal to the plot, and we hope to have a diverse, inclusive cast.
**Dance is required for all auditionees except Sebastian and Marie.
