Cinderellas of America By Kemiyondo Coutinho

IAMA Theatre Company’s New Works Festival presents Cinderellas of America by Kemiyondo Coutinho, directed by Kimberly Hébert.

When Nomi’s picture-perfect “happily ever after” gets a rude wake-up call from the ever-watchful border control, she decides to chase the elusive American dream — only to discover it’s not all sunshine and sparkly shoes on the U.S. side. Cinderellas of America hilariously uncovers the tragic immigrant experience, revealing the comically bizarre, often zany quests one embarks upon in search of that elusive, shimmering glass slipper.

IAMA Theatre Company, committed to cultivating new voices and creating new works that push boundaries and take risks, presents staged readings of six new plays over the course of two weekends in the fifth edition of this annual series.
