Some of the most beloved and infamous characters of all time come to life on the LifeHouse stage as Snow White, Prince Stephen, and seven zany dwarfs attempt to overcome the envy and hatred of evil Queen Belladonna.  Packed with zippy original music, Snow White features a touching story of redemption laced with humor, fantasy, and adventure for all ages.

The cast of LifeHouse storytellers includes over 30 talented Inland Empire actors and actresses.  The musical features stage veterans Tiffany Hostler as Snow White, Michael Milligan as Prince Stephen, Colleen Langley as Queen Belladonna, Katrina Cavarno as Craven the Raven, and Jason Robbins as the Magic Mirror.  Chris Daub portrays Woody, the kindly woodsman.  Supporting roles are played by Kristin Vredewoogd as Rascal Rabbit, Emily Lopez as Whiff the Skunk, Meigan Oldfield as Seymour the Owl and Tai Wazdatskey as Robby Raccoon. Featured among the dwarfs include roles played by Ryan Bell, William Fernandez Jr., Tim Mahoney, Shane Prince and Jeremy Yeo.

Previously playing to sold-out audiences, Snow White has received numerous Inland Theater League awards for acting, costuming and writing — as well as outstanding reviews by local newspapers.  Written by LifeHouse Theater President Wayne Scott and directed by Dustin Ceithamer, Snow White combines inventive sets by Tim Mahoney with imaginative costumes by Debbie Rao and Christy Conrad for a memorable audience experience.  Ceithamer also serves as choreographer and music director.
