Who's Who

Brenda Bell
as Giselle/Playwright/Producing Artistic Director
Brenda is over-joyed to be sharing the magic of Cinderella with Players Theatre audiences. Giselle is one of her favorite characters and she hopes to be just like her when she grows up. She wishes to note that she has sampled Giselle’s cooking and finds it to be quite satisfactory despite what Madame says, although it could use a little more butter – what couldn’t really? In addition to trotting around the stage casting spells as Cinderella’s Godmother, Brenda, can be seen trotting around the theatre producing shows. She created Literally Alive in 1999 and has written 12 original Off-Broadway musicals with Michael Sgouros and produced over 50 productions at the Players Theatre. She is so happy to have live theatre back and thankful to Michael and the Players Theatre for holding on through the last year.
