Welcome Teachers, Educators, and Parents:

We are so excited that you’re here for our 2013-2014 season, Imagine That. It’s a season filled with unlikely friendships, travels to space, uproarious pantomime, black light puppetry, fairy tales of epic proportions, and much more.

This production has truly been a collaboration between great talents: Eduardo Sicangco’s set and costume design, Paul Whitaker’s lighting, new and original choreography by Brian Sostek and the music direction, compositions and sound designs of Victor Zupanc’s impeccably calibrated score and pop song rearrangements. The experience as an audience member is one of total immersion in this fantastic and spectacular world.

CTC’s Cinderella is inspired by the wild and wonderful theatrical form of panto, an incredibly popular holiday theatrical tradition throughout the United Kingdom. There is hardly an English theatre that doesn’t delight its audiences with this mad mix of spectacle, dance and slapstick comedy. It is a form as enduring as the tale of Cinderella.

As you know, research has shown that the early years in a child’s life—when the human brain is forming—represent a critically important window of opportunity to develop a child’s full potential and shape key academic, social, and cognitive skills that determine a child’s success in school and in life. The Arts are a crucial tool for teaching empathy, expanding imagination and introducing ideas that challenge our thinking.

Cinderella, as with all the plays on our stage this season, is a product of the imagination and hard work of every actor, director, playwright, and artist at CTC. We hope you, your students, and your family will be transported to the worlds we have created. We hope our plays spark dialogue between friends, classmates and family members and that everyone shares in the power of active imagination. See you at the theatre!

Warmly,

Nina StultzNina StultzStudent Matinee Coordinator

Theatre Vocabulary

Fairy Tales: A Brief Description Cinderella: The Story’s Origin and History

A fairy tale, or wonder tale, is a kind of folktale or fable. In these stories we meet witches and queens, giants and elves, princes, dragons, talking animals, ogres, princesses and sometimes even fairies. Marvelous and magical things happen to characters in fairy tales. A boy may become a bird. A princess may sleep for a hundred years. A seal may become a girl. Objects too can be enchanted — mirrors talk, pumpkins become carriages and a lamp may be home to a genie.

The oldest fairy tales were told and retold for generations before they were written down, but now we can read fairy tales from almost any culture. When these stories were studied together, something amazing was discovered. From countries as distant and different as Egypt and Iceland similar fairy tales are told. Both Egypt and Iceland have “Cinderella” stories, as do China, England, Korea, Siberia, France, and Vietnam; and the list doesn’t stop there.

There may be a thousand versions of the Cinderella story, each with a unique telling which carries cultural information about the time and place the story was told. One thing is for sure; people everywhere like stories in which truth prevails over deception, generosity is ultimately rewarded, hard work overcomes obstacles, and love, mercy and kindness are the greatest powers of all.

Today, some authors still like to retell and invent new fairy tales. The Cinderella story was recently re-imagined by Diane Goode in her book Cinderella: the Dog and Her Little Glass Slipper. So jump in and find out what makes these fairy tales so enduring, or try your hand at creating your own!

Where the story of Cinderella originated is unknown but the earliest datable version of the Cinderella story occurs in a Chinese book writ-ten about 850-860 AD. The earliest European version of tale was published in Italy in 1634. In 1697 Perrault introduced the story familiar to most Americans, “Cinderella, or The Tale of the Little Glass Slipper” in his Histories or Tales of Past Times in 1697. The story has had many variations over the centuries - More than 700 variations of the tale have been collected from around the world, with it appearing in almost every language.

Charles Perrault

Charles Perrault was a French writer who lived in the second half of the XVII century. He was one of the first writers in European literature who turned his eyes to folklore.Born in 1628 in a clerical bourgeois family, Perrault received legal education and had high royal office. In the second half of the XVII century, there was a dispute amidst French writers about the advantage of modern writers compared to the writers of antiquity. Charles Perrault played an important role in this dispute, opposing to the genre and thematic limitations of classical literature.

In 1671, Charles Perrault was elected to the French Academy of Sciences. In folk art, Perrault found rich stories and images to create new artistic works. He turned to folklore by collecting a number of stories and published them in 1697 under the title “Tales of Mother Goose.” This collection included eight fairy tales, including “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Puss in Boots”, “Little Thumb” and “Cinderella.” In subsequent editions Perrault added two more stories and a novelette.

About the Music of CinderellaAdaptation Explanation

“Working on the music for Cinderella was a very special treat for me. This production at CTC is in the traditional, British panto style, which essentially means that anything goes. The panto style encourages scenes of wild, outrageous, slapstick humor interspersed with scenes of absolute beauty and deep emotion. It’s a wonderful and challenging mix. The music that I have arranged and composed for this production covers that wide range and everything in between. You will hear parodies of famous pop songs old and new. It was extremely important to me that we include tunes that are familiar to six year olds and others that will make the parents and grandparents smile.

Another common aspect of traditional pantos is The Olios. These are short “entertainments’ that happen in between scenes of the play. The curtain closes and the audience is entertained by singers, musicians and dancers. These might be related to the play but often are not. They are, quite simply, and opportunity to show off in front of the curtain while scenery is being changed behind it. For our production, we have chosen to feature several carols from around the world-very interesting and beautiful carols from Ireland and England and Germany and The Czech Republic.” -Victor Zupanc, Music Director and Composer

What is an Adaptation?

Cinderella started out as an oral story. It’s such a well-loved story that it has been adapted into film and stage plays. What does it mean to “adapt” something? Well, it means to change it or shift it so that it works in another format or another way. For example, in order to adapt Cinderella from an oral story into a play for the stage, the playwright would need to use a couple of different tools.

Dialogue: When one or more characters are speaking aloud to each other.

Monologue: When one character is talking to themselves or to the audience.

Stage Directions: These are silent text in the script that assists the actors and directors set the scene. Stage Directions can tell the actors and directors what the stage is supposed to look like, or how a character looks and feels and more.

Narrator: A playwright can also use a narrator, or a storyteller to help communicate parts of the original story that the playwright wants to use.

Song: Sometimes playwrights use music and song to help tell the story.

About Pantomime

One of the trademarks of the traditional panto (or pantomime) is to take a well-known fairy tale and turn it on its ear. The history of the panto can be traced back to Greek theatre, but it is considered to be distinctly British. Panto uses song and dance, slapstick comedy and elaborate costuming and exaggerated make-up to tell strong stories of good battling evil.
