Diamondhead School of Fine Arts Presents a Darkly Hilarious Twist on a Classic Fairy Tale in “Cinderella Waltz”
Pass Christian, MS, June 12, 2024 – The Diamondhead School of Fine Arts proudly announces its latest production, Cinderella Waltz, a daring reinterpretation of the beloved fairy tale, written by acclaimed playwright Don Nigro and skillfully directed by Andie Rennie.
Set to captivate audiences at The Randolph Center in Pass Christian from July 26-28, 2024, this dark comedy promises a night of laughter, surprises, and profound exploration.
“Cinderella Waltz” delves deep into the archetypal origins of one of the world’s most cherished stories. Contrasting the familiar, charming version with the darker, more ancient and disturbing tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm, the play challenges audiences to reconsider their perceptions of fairy tales.
Director Andie Rennie, making her Mississippi directorial debut, infuses Cinderella Waltz with a fresh perspective shaped by her extensive theatrical journey from Houston to New York. Rennie’s personal connection to the material adds depth to the production, having portrayed Mrs. Snow in her youth. Her directorial vision promises to push boundaries and challenge conventional interpretations of Cinderella’s narrative, offering theatergoers an unforgettable experience.
