Snow White
A Guide to Child-centered Musical Theater
Description:... A beautiful book providing everything needed to teach and direct a children's production of Snow White. Included are the story, a play version, a musical score, production notes, and a compact disk for the actual performance. No parts or extra copies are needed! The story is a simplified adaptation of Grimm's fairy tale, presented with exquisite color ink drawings of actual children who have performed the play. The story is accompanied by a glossary defining the more difficult words, and suggestions on how to present it to the children. The play is a formal script consisting of a narrative, dialogue, stage and lighting cues, and music directives. The score contains all the music and songs in the sequence in which they are to be performed. For those groups without an accomplished pianist, an audio CD is included with both voice and instrumental renditions of each song. Depending on the scope of the production, the entire score may or may not be used. The production notes provide a guide for how to use the play, suggestions for costume and set design, and a complete child-centered approach for preparing the children to participate. Though originally developed for children with special needs, this play and guide can bring the joys of musical theatre to children of all ability levels.
