Dancing dwarfs, a truly evil queen, a hysterical witch, a handsome prince and, of course, the fairest princess in the land will take center stage in the timeless tale of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, this classic version of the story begins with the beautiful Snow White serving her stepmother, the evil Queen Brangomar. However, when Snow White and Prince Florimond fall in love at a ball, the evil queen becomes envious of Snow White and goes to great lengths to get rid of her, including conspiring with Witch Hex to make Snow White take a bite of the infamous poison apple. While you may know how the lovable and clever seven dwarfs save the day in this cherished tale, a new cast of supporting characters breathes new life into this treasured story, surprising and entertaining audiences of all ages.

“’Snow White’ is a beloved German fairy tale which was published in 1812 in the first edition of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” and widely popularized by the 1937 Disney animated classic,” director Rebecca Spear said. “Even to this day, Disney’s groundbreaking musical fantasy film seems to reign as the interpretation most well-known to fans, myself included. What a delight it has been to make the old version new again by sharing the 1912 Broadway play adaptation by Jessie Braham White. The cast and I have had so much fun bringing this Brothers Grimm story to life.”
