It Snowed Last Night

Last night, as I informed you in a post last week, was the Pottsgrove High School's performance of "Snow Off White."

As I was trapped at a Pottstown School Board meeting, I could not attend.

However, Principal Bill Ziegler (at least I assume it was hime) and his trusty iPhone and Tout account were there.

So, courtesy of the ever-expanding coterie of Digital Notebook correspondents, I present without further adieu, his Touts of that performance ... in order of submission of course.

Blogger's Note: The following is a press release from Pottsgrove High School.
On Thursday, Nov. 21 at 7 pm in the high school auditorium, Pottsgrove High School will present the kid-friendly, rock musical, Snow Off-White. 

 This slightly over one-hour production is a humorous twist on the classic fairy tale with a tom-boyish Snow White and 7 crazy fairy godmothers in the place of dwarves.

Snow White (Rebecca Smith) is shocked when her father the King (Josh Crocetto) returns to the kingdom with his new fiancée Vilenity (Hailee Tyson).

Vilenity and her bumbling henchmen have a plan to rule the kingdom, but that involves getting rid of Snow White. Dirk (Nick Wolfe) takes Snow into the forest to dispose of her, but she escapes and finds refuge in the cottage of 7 rather odd godmothers. 

Also mixed up in the story are Rosamond, Sleeping Beauty (Emma Burrus) and her Prince Philip (Justin Hernandez). Strange match-ups and alliances lead to a hilarious conclusion.

Featured as the fairy godmothers are Tayler Nofer, Emily Weaver, Mollie Marko, MJ Bird, Kristi Schultz, Brianna Beitler, and Nicole Raimondi. 

Other characters include Madison Batzel, Danielle Buchanan, Jake Deska, Olive Hernandez, Charlotte Kennedy, Chris McKelvey, Rebekah Schueck, Michael Thornton, Dan Weand, and Hannah Windrim.

The musical has several lively songs: “Welcome to Our World,” “It Doesn’t Suit Me,” “Voodoo Hoodoo Woman,” “Not the Way the Story Goes,” “Happily Never After” and others.

The show is directed and produced by faculty members Todd Kelly and Holli Artim. Allison Wentzel is the student director. Elizabeth Rodenbaugh and Cindy Wozniak cover the costuming demands while Gwyn Thomas and Cindy Scherer serve as the art directors. Stacy Couch is the production’s choreographer.

Like many contemporary fairy tale spoofs, the production is well suited for both the young and the young at heart. Children 12 and under are admitted free while general admission is $3. Tickets are available at the door.
