Written and conceived by Jim Caron, MCT’s Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs is an original musical adaptation of the classic fairy tale performed by MCT and a cast of over 50 local children. A young princess named Show White finds herself in peril when her step-mother, the Queen, is told by her Magic Mirror that the princess is fairer than she. Aided by her two Henchmen and a band of evil Bats, the Queen plots to get rid of Snow White. Snow White escapes from the Queen and the Black Forest Creatures with help from Witless the Woodsman, and she finds a home with the Seven Dwarfs. When the Queen learns of Snow White’s whereabouts, she attempts to poison Snow White. But the Queen’s evil plans are thwarted when Snow White’s fearless Forest Friends, her father King Backwards, the Seven Dwarfs, and the Prince come to her rescue.
Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs was originally developed by MCT, a non-profit organization based in Missoula, Montana. In 2018, more than 65,000 cast members across the globe took the stage to the delight and applause of their families, friends, community, neighbors, and teachers.
