Nearly 40 Students Take the Stage for The Snow White Variety Show
COLDWATER – A cast of nearly 40 local students will present the play The Snow White Variety Show at Tibbits Opera House Oct. 19-20 at 7pm and Oct. 21 at 2pm.
The Snow White Variety Show has all the fun of just about every TV-show genre imaginable jam-packed into this wild and fast-paced comedy! The audience becomes the live studio audience on a talk show, Real Talk with Fairytale Legends, where the seven dwarves tell the story of Snow White as the Fairytale Players bring it to life. As each new dwarf takes a turn telling part of Snow White’s famous story in his or her own unique voice, the players’ re-enactment shifts to match the style and personality of that particular dwarf. At any given moment, the story can be anything — romance, comedy, home improvement show, suspense, Western, epic poetry, mystery, cooking show, stand-up routine, or blockbuster action movie! There’s even a “Miss Fairest of Them All” beauty pageant! It all culminates in a mad-dash ending of fast-changing genres that sets the record straight on Snow White’s happily-ever-after.
The cast, which includes students from Coldwater, Bronson, Tekonsha, Union City, Athens, Quincy, and even Angola and Fremont, IN, includes McKinley Kirk as Announcer, Isaac Lee as Applause Guy; Sonya Vorce as Baby Bear; London Elkins as Mama Bear; Kayden LaFountain as Papa Bear; Felina Stevens as Commercial Announcer; Gunnar Cornwell as the Big, Bad Wolf; Jada Bell as CinderSella/Witch; Bree Tappenden as Gretel with Luke Marteen as Hansel; Saylor Fraley as Model; Joel Miller as Prince; Anna Vorce as Rapunzel; Alison Turner as Red Riding Hood; Lexis Harris as Rumpelstiltskin; Isabel Christopher as Sleeping Beauty; Alison Christopher as Ugly Duckling; Bianca Hubbard and Rachel Rutz as CSI Dwarves; Logan Kirk, Jeffrey Harvey, Lilyanah Roscoe, Paul Shap, Abby Robison, Elliot Teeple and Corrin Cook as Dwarves; Addie Noyes as Evil Queen, Dane Pickell as Guard and Mackenzie Searing as Guard /Igor; Julia Kirk as Heidi Perbole; Ryan Smith as Huntsman; Micah Lee as King/Dwarf Stand-In; Nakota Dayton as Magic Mirror; Colton LaFountain as Ogre; Abigail Needham as Real Snow White/Goldilocks; Lauren Teeple as Snow White; Alivia Avra as Snow White’s Mother; and Abbie Ingram as Troll.
