Ten-year-old Belinda is a budding poet and loves to tell stories, but
when she’s stuck in the basement preparing for a party upstairs that
her stepmother and stepsisters will host, she’ll have to get creative.
It’s a story within a story; Belinda lives out her version while also reenacting the classic tale of Cinderella, using whatever objects are at her
disposal: napkins, teapots and doilies, to name just a few. With these
everyday items, a healthy dose of imagination and a love of poetry
passed down by her father, Belinda imagines a bigger world for herself.
When she learns that the party’s special guest is (real life) writer Gary
Soto, Belinda wants desperately to attend the party and share her own
writings with Soto. But to do that, she must learn to stand up for herself
and take charge of her life and dreams. This captivating bilingual onewoman performance is a modern spin on the beloved fairy tale and
tackles cultural heritage, family and the power of language.
