Cinder-Rachella

The JCCNV 2013-2014 Performing Arts Series will wrap its second season with the world premiere of Cinder-Rachella, a new musical adaptation which celebrates Jewish and Israeli culture through the eyes of the iconic fairytale Princess. The JCCNV commissioned the new work from Leslie A. Kobylinski (book and lyrics) and Alvin Smithson (music). Funding for the commission and the premiere has come from a project grant from the Arts Council of Fairfax County, supported by Fairfax County, with additional support from First Draft, a local theatre company dedicated to developing new plays alongside audiences, supporting DC-area playwrights and partnering with theaters and artists looking to produce new work.

Set in a magical Jewish summer camp, a naïve young girl meets sisters Mitzi and Hulda, who tease her and call her Cinder-Rachella (a pet name, really). Cinder-Rachella's only comfort is a book that contains the hopes and dreams of her father (What Will Be) and becomes inspired by his vision for the future. Athletic camp counselor David bounds on the scene and is smitten by Cinder-Rachella, who couldn't care less for him. Through a series of magical interventions (what else!) by a stranger (actually the Prophet Elijah in disguise), Cinder-Rachella helps David understand his potential and the two dream of being pioneers in the Promised Land.

While written for children, the play has plenty of laughs built in for adults, and can be enjoyed by people of all faiths and backgrounds.
