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 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.
