Minnesota Theater Cancels ‘Cinderella’ Production Citing Too Many White Cast Members

A Minnesota suburban theater canceled its production of “Cinderella,” citing that the cast had too many white actors. 

Chanhassen Dinner Theatres announced on its website that the production of “Cinderella” was not aligned with its current diversity, equity, and inclusion goals. Instead of recasting the production to include more people of color, the theater opted to nix the production entirely.
