F R O M T H E FO U N D E R S Our stories bind us. How fortunate we are as storytellers that Aurora can finally (after two years of waiting) produce our own version of this time honored classic. Yeh-hsien. Rhodopis. Cenerentola. Cendrillon. Ashenputtle. Chernuska. Cinderella. These are just a few of the names of one of the best known and most beloved fairy tale charac-ters in the world.

I was always drawn to Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother. I loved the bippity-boppi-ty-boo of changing mice into horses, a pumpkin into a carriage and rags into a beauti-ful gown. I was lucky to grow up in a household with a mother who always made me feel special, so that when the world was unkind, unfair, and unjust, I would be resilient. Now, I strive to do that for every woman I meet - our apprentices, school children, the women in our community, and every prince and princess in training. WE ARE EACH MAGICAL.

Douglas Carter Beane’s 2013 update is powerful. Just by introducing Jean-Michel, the playwright introduces our responsibility to stand up for those who have no voice. Most importantly, it reminds all the bullies, and ogres, and all-around bad guys that it is time to be kind.

In our version, Cinderella is surrounded by books, learning, and knowledge. We don’t have to always agree, but how can we intellectually debate if our books are censored? How can we learn if our classrooms are not abuzz with the miracles of science? How can our children become our next generation of leaders if they do not understand thousands of years of history?

Anthony & I want every little girl who visits Lawrenceville to know that they are a princess because, in fact, each child who visits is ALREADY royalty. Just by our very entrance into the world - we are each special. The Chinese girl, the Egyptian girl, the Black girl, the indigenous girl, the white girl, the Latina girl - we are each special. As Aurora evolves, I am loving every moment of the new journey I am on as a female executive leader alongside Katie Pelkey, a powerhouse in her own right.

So bullies and ogres, and all around bad guys - TAKE THAT!!!!!

RICHARD RODGERS' (Composer) contribution to the musical theatre of his day was extraordinary, and his influence on the musical theatre of today and tomor-row is legendary. His career spanned more than six decades, his hits ranging from the silver screens of Hollywood to the bright lights of Broadway, London and be-yond. He was the recipient of countless awards, including Pulitzers, Tonys, Oscars, Grammys and Emmys. He wrote more than 900 published songs and 40 Broadway musicals. Richard Rodgers (1902-1979) and Lorenz Hart (1895-1943) wrote their first shows together when both were still students attending Columbia University. Their breakthrough came with the score for a 1925 charity show, The Garrick Gaieties, which introduced the classic valentine to their hometown, Manhattan. Over the next five years they wrote 15 musical comedies for Broadway and London's West End before relocating to Hollywood in 1930, where they contributed songs and wrote the scores for several movie musicals, most notably LOVE ME TONIGHT, star-ring Maurice Chevalier. In 1935 they returned to New York to write the score for Billy Rose's circus musical Jumbo, launching a golden era that included On Your Toes, Babes In Arms, I'd Rather Be Right, I Married An Angel, The Boys From Syracuse, Too Many Girls, Higher And Higher, Pal Joey and By Jupiter. In 1943 the partner-ship disbanded temporarily when Rodgers collaborated with Oscar Hammerstein II on Oklahoma!, but it resumed with a revision of their 1927 hit A Connecticut Yankee, which opened on November 17, 1943 – less than a week before Lorenz Hart's death. For the next two decades Richard Rodgers collaborated exclusively with Oscar Hammerstein II on such musicals as Carousel, Allegro, South Pacific, The King And I, Pipe Dream and The Sound of Music. Collectively, their musicals have garnered dozens of awards, including Pulitzer Prizes, Tonys, Oscars, Emmys, **MEMBER OF UNITED SCENIC ARTISTS

Grammys, and Drama Desk, Drama Critics’ Circle, Outer Critics’ Circle, Laurence Olivier, and Evening Standard Awards. After Hammerstein's death in 1960, Rodgers continued to write for the musical stage, including No Strings, and collaborations with Martin Charnin, Stephen Sondheim and Sheldon Harnick. His fortieth, and final, Broadway musical, I Remember Mama, opened on Broadway less than eight months before his death on December 30, 1979. The Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway was renamed in his honor, and Rodgers and Hart were each commemo-rated on a US postage stamp at the end of the last century.

OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II (Lyricist/Original Book) was born on July 12, 1895 in New York City. His father, William, was a theatre manager and for many years direc-tor of Hammerstein's Victoria, the most popular vaudeville theatre of its day. His un-cle, Arthur Hammerstein, was a successful Broadway producer and his grandfather, Oscar Hammerstein, a famous opera impresario. Hammerstein started writing lyr-ics for the Columbia University Varsity shows while studying law. His earliest works included musical comedies written with a Columbia undergraduate seven years his junior named Richard Rodgers. (The 1920 varsity show, Fly With Me, was com-posed by Rodgers with lyrics by both Hammerstein and a fellow classmate of his named Lorenz Hart.) Withdrawing from Columbia Law School after his second year to pursue a career in theatre, Hammerstein took a job with his uncle as an assistant stage manager. In 1919 Hammerstein's first play, The Light, was produced by his Uncle Arthur; it lasted four performances. Undaunted, he continued to write both lyrics and librettos, principally with Otto Harbach as his collaborating author. His first success, with Harbach, Vincent Youmans and Herbert Stothart, was Wildflower in 1923. Hammerstein found his niche with some of the greatest composers of his day, breathing new life into the moribund artform of operetta with such classics as

Rose-Marie (music by Rudolf Friml), The Desert Song (Sigmund Romberg), The New Moon (Romberg), and Song of the Flame (George Gershwin). With Jerome Kern, Hammerstein wrote eight musicals, including Sweet Adeline, Music in the Air and their masterwork, Show Boat. His last musical before embarking on an exclusive partnership with Richard Rodgers was Carmen Jones, the highly-acclaimed 1943 all-black revision of Georges Bizet's tragic opera Carmen. During the years that Hammerstein was redefining the terms of operetta, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart were challenging the accepted norms of musical comedy with shows that set new standards for wit, sophistication and innovation. The Rodgers & Hammerstein partnership began with Oklahoma! (1943). Like Hammerstein's Show Boat and Rodgers & Hart's Pal Joey, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical was a ground-breaking milestone, blending musical comedy and operetta into a whole new genre - the musical play. Oklahoma! was also the start of the most successful part-nership in Broadway history and was followed by Carousel, Allegro, South Pacific, The King And I, Me And Juliet, Pipe Dream, Flower Drum Song and The Sound of Music. Rodgers & Hammerstein wrote one musical specifically for the big screen - STATE FAIR - and one for television - CINDERELLA. Collectively, their musicals have garnered dozens of awards including: Pulitzer Prizes; Tonys, Oscars, Emmys, and Grammys; and Drama Desk, Drama Critics’ Circle, Outer Critics’ Circle, Laurence Olivier, and Evening Standard Awards. As producers, Rodgers & Hammerstein presented plays, musicals and revivals, including John van Druten's I Remember Mama, Anita Loos' Happy Birthday, Irving Berlin's blockbuster Annie Get Your Gun, the national tour of Show Boat (1947-49) and six of their own stage musicals (from the Pulitzer-winning South Pacific in 1949 to the Tony-winning The Sound of Music ten years later). They also produced the motion picture version of Oklahoma! and founded their own music publishing firm, Williamson Music (basing the name on the fact that both of their fathers were named William.) Oscar Hammerstein II was a member of the board of directors of many professional organizations, including the Dramatists Guild and the Screen Writers' Guild. He received many personal hon-ors and awards including five honorary degrees, two Pulitzer Prizes, two Academy Awards and five Tony Awards. His last musical was The Sound of Music, written with Richard Rodgers in 1959; his last song was "Edelweiss," written for that musi-cal during its Boston tryout. Oscar Hammerstein II died at his farm in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, on the morning of August 23, 1960. In 1995 Hammerstein's centennial was celebrated worldwide with commemorative recordings, books, concerts and an award-winning PBS special, "Some Enchanted Evening." The ultimate tribute came the following season, when Oscar Hammerstein II had three musicals playing on Broadway simultaneously: Show Boat (1995 Tony Award winner, Best Musical Revival); The King and I (1996 Tony Award winner, Best Musical Revival); and State Fair (1996 Tony Award nominee for Best Score.) "The Careful Dreamer," a Time Magazine cover story on Oscar Hammerstein II, was published on October 20, 1947. A biography, Getting to Know Him by Hugh Fordin, was first published by Random House in 1977. A revised edition of Hammerstein's Lyrics, edited by his son William Hammerstein and containing an introductory essay by the lyricist, plus a preface by his protege Stephen Sondheim, was published by Hal Leonard Publishing in 1985.
