For Eugene Ballet artistic director and choreographer Toni Pimble, the joke's on the audience.
And the joke is - drum roll, please - that those two clumsy Ugly Stepsisters in her ballet ``Cinderella'' are danced by a couple of guys.
The dudes in drag are Dan Alsedek and John Funk, who specialize in character roles. Their comings and goings lend a landslide of chaos to the sedate proceedings, which is precisely what Pimble is after.
Pimble's "Cinderella" is all confetti - guaranteed to bring smiles, chuckles and guffaws.
