Backstage with the Director -Cinderella 2026

Welcome to Northeastern Ballet Theatre's 

2026 production of Cinderella! 

Especially in these ever changing times, it is a precious gift to have enchanted fairy tales to revisit. They evoke memories of a simpler time and of the beauty and magic of childhood. Carrying messages of hope and love, they make the seemingly impossible possible. This is why stories like Cinderella endure - they are about more than just glass slippers and a handsome prince. Fairy tales demonstrate the resilience of the human spirit. Cinderella's message was one of staying true to herself regardless of her circumstances. Always kind, always loving - never turning angry or bitter when those around her were not always kind in return. And in the end, look how it all turned out. All of her dreams came true! 

Here at NBT, we are in the business of making dreams come true! Let us help you use the discipline and beauty of ballet to turn your fairy tale dreams into reality. Do you have a young "budding ballerina" at home? Have you always longed to dance, or are you ready to rediscover your passion? For dedicated dancers, we offer Summer Intensive classes in July and August. And for the little ones, a special one-week "Princess Camp". NBT has classes for all age groups. Please check out our website or send us an email. If dancing is in your heart, remember to stay true to yourself and join us to create ballet magic! 

I hope you enjoy Cinderella, and thank you for sharing this experience with us today!  Edra Toth, Northeastern Ballet Theatre Artistic Director
