Cinderella Saturday Meet the Cast

Its Cinderella Saturday ~ Time to Meet the Cast

Today we feature Anastasia (Emily McIsaac) and Drizella  (Dominique LaPierre)

Emily McIsaac (10) is playing the role of Cinderella’s evil stepsister, Anastasia.  She says her sister told her she’d be good for the role, and she’s really enjoying getting to be evil. Emily likes playing Anastasia, because she doesn’t need to master waltzing or curtsying.  This will be Emily’s first major production with Spotlight Theatre after joining us in the fall, and she hopes you’ll all love the show!

Dominique Lapierre (12) is playing the role of Cinderella’s evil stepsister, Drizella.  She says that her character is snobbish and whines a lot, and even though she likes playing Drizella, she wouldn’t want to be her friend!  She loves working with Spotlight and she’s excited to be back with us this year. This will be Dominique’s second production with Spotlight Theatre, the first being Alice in Wonderland. In true evil stepsister fashion, she says you better come see the show… or else!
