The Tarkington At The center for the performing arts
A supremely wicked Queen, a band of benevolent dwarves, and one enchanted (and enticing!) apple - CIDE’s Snow White has them all! Journey with us as our dancers retell the captivating tale of Snow White: the fairest of face and soul, who thwarts her Evil Stepmother’s schemes with kindness, devotion, friendship, and true love to triumph over envy and malice. Set to the music of Polish composer Bogdan Pavlovsky, our dancers’ artistry and skill allow this beloved fairytale to shine with renewed vibrancy, kindling the imaginations of children and adults alike.
