Oh, no! Not ANOTHER Snow White play! But have no fear! This fresh and funny adaptation will make even the most jaded folks laugh out loud as it expands the Brothers Grimm tale with new characters who have always lived between the lines of the classic fairy tale. This version, using a fun frame story of a contemporary mom reading to her bickering children, is loaded with bright new faces and comedic twists. We meet a gaggle of forest animals, friendly Dwarf Villagers, a troupe of ladies-in-waiting with a penchant for limericks, the Huntsman’s squabbling conscience and even a nerdy governmental representative from the Department of Natural Resources trying to keep the forest dwellers from ruining the environment! (He nabs the Huntsman for attempting to kill a wild pig without a hunting license and fines a dwarf for picking a bouquet of state flowers!) With an incredibly flexible “cast of thousands,” this production offers scores of young thespians of all ages the joy of being onstage.

Schedule: Auditions will be held on Monday. Rehearsals will be held throughout the remainder of the week (Tuesday-Thursday). Rehearsal schedules will be from 9am -12pm. On Friday, rehearsal will begin at 3:00 pm in lieu of the regular morning session. Our performance will be Friday at 5 pm. Please send a snack with your child daily.

A black base costume will be required for performance, including black pants/leggings, black t-shirts, black socks and black nonslip shoes (like black tennis shoes or black dance shoes). We will build costuming on top of that.
