Snow White Will Delight Children and Adults Alike

CST-Snow-White-1Director Mary A. Bird compares the vast likeability of Snow White to that of Bugs Bunny.

"Remember watching a Disney movie or Bugs Bunny as a child, then revisiting it as an adult? There are different nuances and humor that you will discover."

Chicago Street Theatre's upcoming production of Snow White is entertaining for the whole family, explains Bird. Children will delight in the classic Grimm Brothers' fairy tale, while adults will appreciate the hidden humor.

Bird describes the play's Snow White (played by 17-year-old Auriel Lark Felsecker of Miller Beach) "as a modern, independent, strong, and sassy female lead."

Regarding the Prince (played by Mitch Paxton, 17, of Valparaiso), he is "a reluctant, somewhat bumbling hero."
