Cinderella
Learning resources for middle school and high school classrooms
We are excited to give teachers and students a glimpse into the story, music and images of Lyric's 2023 production of Cinderella. The presentation below serves to prepare classes for the performance experience. It can be used as a quick reference or a longer study guide with prompts for deeper consideration both before and after coming to the theater.
This slide deck contains:
- A list of characters
- A summary of the story
- Literary and artistic themes
- Listening examples
- About the writers
- Discussion prompts
