The Rockin’ Tale of Snow White, with 52 cast members from age 6 to adult, will be pure delight. The fairy tale you may remember is tweaked a bit with lots of music and some silly additions. Snow White (Amelia Roth) is still poisoned by the Evil Queen (Jenny Delfs) and The Mirror (Jamie Kirk) still keeps all the trouble brewing.

The Seven Dwarfs (Sam Sietsema, Hazel Kemp, Louise Ramberg, Andrea Larsen, Dominic Wilson, Cloe Blackburn and Ryan Bilben) try to protect Snow White, and Prince Charming (Luke Johnson) still saves her, but there is so much more!

Dwarf villagers spreading gossip. There’s a DNR representative, singing bats, an angel, a devil, a wild pig and more all crossing the stage in this classic tale with a twist. The show is packed with 16 musical numbers to keep your feet tapping too.

Amelia Roth will take the spotlight as Snow White in The Rockin’ Tale of Snow White. The play is expected to produce tapping toes and smiling faces.
