Looks like the evil stepmother got her wish. Cinderella won’t have her fairytale ending after all.
Per cancel culture narrative, The Chanhassen Dinner Theater in Minnesota abruptly dropped its production of Cinderella according to Pioneer Press. Artistic director Michael Brindisi decided that having a “98% white” cast was not enough of a “commitment to social justice.” Sad to say Cinderella’s glass slippers will remain MIA.
After careful consideration and with our ongoing commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres has made the decision to cancel our upcoming production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Our hope in beginning the production process again with a new title will allow us to put into practice an intentional process based on the work we have been doing towards equity and inclusivity.
Evidently the “too white” cast for the classic folk tale didn’t align with the woke mob and rather than recasting, the only logical solution was to cancel the production … and fire all of the already casted artists. The show will be replaced with the dance-centric “Footloose” which will undoubtedly feature dancers of red and yellow, black and white. (Remember the movie “Footloose,” starring those eminent black actors John Lithgow and Kevin Bacon?)
The funny part is that the town of Chanhassen —south of Minneapolis — isn’t even full of diversity itself. The recent census indicated that 92.5% of the town’s population are white, less than 3% are Hispanic, and 1.1% are black. So even if the theater wanted “identity-conscious casting,” they’re going to have to look hard.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
