Tickets are also available online at www.boatforhope.ca\, all proceeds go towards helping BC kids.

SUMMARY:Snow White
DESCRIPTION:A “Once Upon a Time” tale re-imagined for twice as much fun! Not your traditional Snow White\, this clever twist on the beloved fairy tale is a two-actor take that’s irresistibly playful and oh-so smart. With lightning quick switches\, the duet morphs into 14 characters\, retelling (along with a song or three!) the story of Snow White\, all seven dwarfs\, the prince\, queen and her madcap crew. Hilarious and charming\, this ingenious Snow White nudges the classic toward a more timely interpretation.
