The African-American Shakespeare Company Looks to Explore What It Means to Be Family in 2018 Version of Cinderella
Press Contact Liam Passmore Shave and a Haircut [email protected] 415-865-0860 (p); 415-218-1544 (c) The African-American Shakespeare Company Looks to Explore What It Means To Be Family in 2018 Version of Cinderella Paige Mayes in the 2017 African-American Shakespear Company's Cinderella Director Mark A. Davis looks to Sondheim and Into The Woods as inspirations to give context as he takes the reins for this year’s production of the company’s holiday classic as a story of a girl being raised by a mother “who doesn’t like her,” and her search for authentic family, which in this version will feature a Fairy Godfather offering some needed assistance in her transformation and journey that includes a pair of particularly life-changing shoes Cinderella runs for 4 performances, December 21-23 at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco; Tickets: $25 - $45 can be purchased at african-americanshakes.org October 29, 2018, San Francisco– The African-American Shakespeare Company’s annual holiday offering Cinderella returns this December in an update that recontextualizes our heroine’s dilemma into a journey that finds her seeking what director Mark A. Davis describes as “authentic family.” This, the company’s 17th production spun from their original take first produced in 2000 is their take on the oft-told tale of a girl who while fully aware of the inequalities in her life—forced as she is to wait on her stepmother and two stepsisters hand and foot— doesn't allow them to define her. After being a holiday staple for the company for close to two decades, with a number of revisions, additions and updates, Executive Director Sherri Young is always looking for ways to keep the story relevant to new audiences and reflect the changing times, all while “keeping the uniqueness that only the African-American Shakespeare Company can bring.” As always, the musical production will find our heroine thanklessly toiling away before seizing the opportunity to pursue her dreams after coming into temporary possession of a particularly life-changing pair of shoes.

Minskoff Theatre
Jimmy Award CV.qxp_Dummy Cover w/PLAYBILL.COM 6/17/19 9:56 AM Page 1 ® MINSKOFF THEATRE ® ® 2019 CELEBRATING JIMMY NEDERLANDER James M. Nederlander or “Jimmy,” Chairman of The Nederlander Organization, was the visionary theatrical impresario who built one of the largest private live entertainment companies in the world known for producing and presenting world-class entertainment since 1912. Jimmy started working in the theatre at age 7 sweeping floors for his father, David Tobias (D.T.) Nederlander, in Detroit, Michigan. During a career that spanned over 70 years, Jimmy amassed a network of premier legitimate theatres including nine on Broadway: the Brooks Atkinson, Gershwin, Lunt-Fontanne, Marquis, Minskoff, Nederlander, Neil Simon, Richard Rodgers, and the world famous Palace; in Los Angeles: The Pantages; in London: the Adelphi, Aldwych, and Dominion; and in Chicago: the Auditorium, Broadway Playhouse, Cadillac Palace, and CIBC Theatres, and the Oriental Theatre which this year was renamed the James M. Nederlander Theatre in Jimmy’s honor. He produced over one hundred acclaimed Broadway musicals and plays including Annie, Applause, La Cage aux Folles, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Me and My Girl, Nine, Noises Off, Peter Pan, Sweet Charity, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, The Will Rogers Follies, Woman of the Year, and many more. “Generous,” “loyal” and “trusted” are just a few of the accolades his friends use to describe him. Jimmy was beloved by the industry and the recipient of many distinguished honors including an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut (2014), the Exploring the Arts Foundation Award (2014), the United Nations Foundation Champion Award (2012), The Broadway League’s Schoenfeld Vision for Arts Education Award (2011), the New York Pop’s Man of the Year (2008), and the special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement (2004).
