Motherella Costume Design
By Jerry Chase. Costume Designer: Hema Joseph
Other Mother (Coraline)
Background: Motherella is the only child of a broken home. Her mother died after a brain injury (due to domestic violence). Her alcoholic father did not care for her. So she found guidance from strict aristocrat women. They taught her how to only care for yourself, and how to steal money...by gold digging. Her experiences caused her to become cold and cruel to her daughters and anyone she "loves". She dreams of her daughters marrying a rich man, so they can cater to her needs
Cinderella's Godmother gives her fair warning about her makeover. Once the clock strikes at midnight the magic makeover would be gone. Cinderella hurries to the ball and has a blast with the prince. Before she can give her name, the clock strikes 5 minutes before midnight. She hurries home but accidentally leaves the shoe with the prince. The prince seaches the whole kingdom for her by seeing if the shoe fits each girl in the kingdom. He finally finds her and they live happily ever after.
In a modern Twist on the classic Cinderella story, Cinderella, an innocent and naive girl is a slave to her step mother (Motherella) and her step sisters. Meanwhile, the kingdom's king tries to find his son, the prince, a bride by putting together a ball. Everyone is invited, but Motherella forbids Cinderella to go. After her mom and sisters leave, Cinderella is approached by her Fairy Godmother(the narrratorof the story). She helps Cinderella get dressed with magic. Instead of glass slippers, Cinderella gets to wear her favorite thing, the combat boots her father gave her before he disappeared.

The setting is in a fanatsy world of Brekinridge.

They only trade with one neighbooring country, and they have horses as transportation. Architecture replicates Ancient Roman towns such as Pompeii.
