Cinderfella and His Sleeping Beauty
Following Cecil Wright, a teenage boy overwhelmed with the decision to ask out one of the most popular girls in school (and previously best friend, though can you have best friends in high school? Can you have friends?), Ellen Prince, to homecoming, he struggles to fend himself against insanely possessive jock, Doug Watterson, and a constantly running time limit. It’s okay though, because he has his friend, Anthony Sanderson, on his side to encourage him when things are looking overwhelming for Cecil, even if he has some interesting homecoming proposals in mind. The question remains though: who will Cecil end up attending the dance with? Will he manage to muster up the courage and defy Doug’s threats to ask Ellen out in time? Or will he fail and need to find a different girl as a date? Or a boy? Nah, a girl… or is she? With a diverse cast of: a nerd, a high school sweetheart, a supposed stoner, a popular jock, and a school myth (with a minor role of a jealous, failed saboteur), this story entails LGBT+ themes and crossdressing in both forms. This isn’t your regular high school drama, this is a twist on a fairytale, a modern-day Cinderella as Cinderfella running late to beat a time limit and Sleeping Beauty sleeping through yet another important event. Their story includes both finding one another in the midst of hidden themes, incognito kings and queens, sabotage plans gone wrong, the pursuit of justice, and a purple polaroid.
