CAST OF CHARACTERS
Ella (FEMALE)
Though no one notices her beneath her rags and quiet demeanor, she is opinionated,
charismatic, passionate, beautiful, and funny. Idealistic and hopeful, she courageously
challenges the prince to change the policies of his kingdom – and helps him discover who he
truly is. Always her late father’s daughter, she is determined to see the good in everyone,
despite her hardships and suffering. We see her blossom into a confident woman.
Topher (MALE)
A misguided and lost prince who longs to do something important with his life. Though brave
and heroic, he feels lonely and unfulfilled. Charming, but NOT a stereotypical ladies man, he is
thoughtful, appealing, and innocent – with an unforced goofy streak. Moral, genuine, and
kindhearted, he is at a crossroads and must take control of his kingdom and his future.
Jean-Michel (MALE)
A feisty, passionate peasant determined to make a change for the starving class. Impetuous. A
firebrand, but lacks authority and isn’t taken seriously as a revolutionary. Has a crush on
Gabrielle, though their courtship is forbidden because they are from different social classes.
Gabrielle (FEMALE)
Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Encouraged by her mother and sister to value
material wealth and social status, she unenthusiastically joins them in their abrasive behavior.
Quietly passionate, empathetic, and witty, she is drawn to Ella and Jean-Michel. Ironically
aware that she doesn’t fit in.
Charlotte (FEMALE)
Ella’s stepsister and daughter of Madame. Brash, self-centered, materialistic, snooty, loud,
sassy, and bratty, she has a ridiculously high, but unfounded opinion of herself. She never
passes up an opportunity to be the center of attention.
Marie (FEMALE)
A friend to Ella and the town’s resident crazy lady and beggar woman, Marie is actually a fairy
godmother in disguise. Wise, warm, otherworldly and charming. Marie rewards Ella for her
kindness by making her dreams a possibility.
Madame (FEMALE)
Ella’s selfish stepmother. The epitome of vanity and fashion. A ravenous social climber who
values wealth, status, and material possessions above all else. Unapologetically dismissive and
sometimes cruel, Madame schemes her way up the social ladder.
Sebastian (MALE)
The kingdom’s Lord Chancellor. Though he is Topher’s trusted advisor, he is devious and selfish.
Using propaganda and dishonesty, he keeps Topher isolated and in the dark about his kingdom.
Sebastian rules without regard for the lower class, or anyone other than himself – and truly
believes he deserves to rule the kingdom.
Lord Pinkleton (MALE)
The Lord Chancellor’s right-hand man. Announces royal balls, banquets and even the weather
to villagers.
Chorus
Knights, Peasants, Serfs, Townspeople, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court, Servants, Fox and
Raccoon (puppets), Footman, Coachman, Giant, etc.

Participation in the 2017 MCS production of “Cinderella” is a privilege, and there are many conditions
that must be followed. A production of this magnitude requires months of rigorous work from all
members of the cast and crew, and any deficiencies reflect on all of the members. The success of the
show depends on everyone being in their place and on time.
In order to be cast in the show, you must not have any conflicts with the rehearsals during Tech Week
(February 23 – 28) or during the run of the show (March 2-4). With that said, we do honor other
conflicts that we are aware of prior to casting the show. Please list on the back of this letter any conflicts
that you might have, including weekly commitments. This will help us in scheduling rehearsals so that
we can improve productivity and minimize the amount of re-teaching that will need to take place.
The first rehearsal will take place on Monday, November 7th at 7:00 PM in the Student Life Center. ALL
CAST AND CREW MEMBERS will be required to attend the first rehearsal along with at least one parent
and/or guardian. At that time, we will pass out the rehearsal schedule, scripts, introduce the staff and
cast, go over rehearsal policies and expectations, and the students will read through the scripts. The
rehearsal schedule from that point forward will be determined by the schedule. Regular rehearsals will
be from 7-9 PM on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, until Tech Week (Feb 23-28).
One other item of note: there will be NO ACTUAL KISSING in this show, so no students or parents will
need to be uncomfortable about their child’s actions on stage. Kissing that is written in the script will be
implied in the action on stage, but will not involve actual contact.
In order to maintain good communication, please fill out the information below. Thank you.
