The classic fairytale of Cinderella with a twist performed to music by Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, BTS, Lukas Graham and more!  There’s even an official cast board with headshots and red carpet photos, so get ready to celebrate all our young performers. Your child’s never performed in a show before? No problem! All levels of experience are invited to participate, recommended ages of 6-14.

Nestled in the heart of the East Village, New Amsterdam School offers a nature-based Waldorf education tailored for children aged 10 months to 6 years old. The school's inclusive community is passionately committed to nurturing holistic development, fostering creativity, and promoting hands-on learning. The primary goal is to spark imagination, cultivate emotional intelligence, and enhance physical well-being through a contemporary Waldorf education approach, emphasizing profound respect for nature, oneself, and others.
