The stories both of Cinderella and of Romeo and Juliet are two such classics, which have been depicted countless times in literature, art, music, dance, theatre, and film. Beginning this summer, Chicagoans can look forward to experiencing multiple interpretations of these classic tales over the next artistic season.
