CAGLE McDONALD STEPS INTO CINDERELLA 

Clocktower Players Artistic Director, Cagle McDonald, stepped in as step-sister Grace at the Sunday, November 7 performance of Clocktower Players production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s CINDERELLA at the Irvington Town Hall Theater. McDonald leapt into the role, without rehearsing, after talented cast member Liz DiMeo of Larchmont suffered a fall and could not perform.

The audience cheered when McDonald took the stage. “Cagle was fantastic!,” said 11-year old Clara Charles, who is in the Clocktower Players Jr. Teen Troupe. It was the first time she had seen her director perform on-stage. “She was hysterical!” raved 10-year old Sophia Carvahlo who attended the Sunday matinee.

McDonald performed again on Wednesday at 10am for a special school performance of the show for Irvington's Dows Lane second graders, and children from schools in Queens, Connecticut and Bronx. It was the first time for many of these children to experience live theater, and to see some of their beloved teachers involved in a production; Sarah B. McCoy (Cinderella), Jonathan Mesisca (Prince), Josue Jasmin (Dancer/choreographer).

McDonald will perform as Grace for Ms DiMeo for the final time on Saturday, Nov 13 at 2pm. Ms. DiMeo is expected to be back onstage Sat night at 7:30pm and for the final performance Sunday Nov 14 at 2pm.
