University School of Nova Southeastern University Presents "Cinderella"

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL- University School of NSU’s Performing Arts Department is proud to present Rodgers and Hammerstein's “Cinderella,” performed by the school’s Middle School students, and directed and choreographed by the school’s Upper School students as part of University School’s Mentorship Program. Performances of this timeless classic will take place November 19, 20 and 21 at 7:30 pm in the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on NSU’s main campus.

University School’s Mentorship Program enables Upper School students to act as theater mentors to the school’s Middle School students, with those acting as mentors conducting all aspects of the production side, such as choreography, set design, and directing, while the Middle School students serve as actors. Students in both schools gain valuable experience in all aspects of theater planning as a result. Faculty supervisor Nina Zakrzewski oversees the Mentorship Program.

“ The mentorship program is an innovative and extraordinary part of University School, and every student involved emerges with a little more confidence and an unbelievable experience in acting, responsibility and camaraderie,” said Zakrzewski.

The Upper School students also stage their own musical theater production each spring.

Ticket prices for University School’s production of “Cinderella” are $20, $15, $12, and $5 (students). For ticket information, please call (954) 262-4402.
