St Joseph's School is pleased to announce that this year the school will be performing a play called “The Snow White Variety Show”. The show is a funny take on the fairytale, suitable for adults and children alike.

It is all the fun of just about every TV-show genre you can imagine jam-packed into a wild and fast-paced comedy!  The audience becomes the live studio audience on a talk show, Real Talk with Fairytale Legends, where the seven dwarves tell the story of Snow White as the Fairytale Players bring it to life. 

As each new dwarf takes a turn telling part of Snow White’s famous story in his or her own unique voice, the players’ re-enactment shifts to match the style and personality of that particular dwarf.  At any given moment, the story can be anything — romance, comedy, home improvement show, suspense, Western, epic poetry, mystery, cooking show, stand-up routine, or blockbuster action movie!  There’s even a “Miss Fairest of Them All” beauty pageant! 

It all culminates in a mad-dash ending of fast-changing genres that sets the record straight on Snow White’s happily-ever-after.  With extremely flexible casting options, very simple staging, and optional hilarious scripted commercial breaks, this variety show spoof of the fairytale classic literally has something for everyone! 

We are planning to perform the show in The Little Theatre on Connor Street over a number of nights in August.

Primary teacher Mrs Kathy Gordon will direct the show, with Year 12 Prefect Olivia Page assisting.

We are looking for students (both primary and secondary) and staff to help produce and perform the show. Volunteers are needed for the following:

• On stage acting
• Back stage work
• Backdrop/prop design
• Costume work/design
• Supervision etc on rehearsal days (teachers only)
• Sound/lighting 

Students have been sent details via email over the weekend about the play and how to volunteer.

We also would appreciate help from parents and carers with set creation and custom design and production. If you can help please contact Mrs Kathy Gordon on kathy.gordon@twb.catholic.edu.au or Andrew Kendall on Andrew.Kendall@twb.catholic.edu.au.
