Snow White cast produces a magical fairy tale
Horsham College students wowed audiences with their rendition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Horsham Town Hall over the weekend.
Horsham College students wowed audiences with their rendition of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at Horsham Town Hall over the weekend.
The college production program this year saw 52 students - a huge increase from last year's 23 students - work the stage, either in character or as a part of the stage crew.
"The students have been incredible, learning all their lines and being prepared to stage the show in just nine weeks," director Emily Friedrichsen said.
Originally written by Peter Denyer and adapted by Ms Friedrichsen, the show told the tale of Snow White (Paige Millar) who escaped from the wicked Queen Morgiana (Sienna Walsgott) and hid in the forest with the Seven Dwarfs: Prof (Annabelle Gregor), Blusher (Indy Webb), Sniffly (Zoe Brennan), Snoozy (Casey Westmoreland), Loopy (Amelia Altmann), Grumbly (Mars Crooks) and Cheeky (Clara Shirrefs).
Guided by Muddles the jester (Orlan Hart) and Herman the Henchman (Jace Both), Prince Lorenzo of Lombardy (Henry Overman) finally gave Snow White her first true love's kiss after she was poisoned by the wicked queen.
The performance had a steampunk twist and was laced with laughter, popular songs and audience interaction.
Students from Year 7 Drama, Year 8 Theatre Studies and Year 9 Sketchy As all helped to create and develop different parts of the set, props and costumes. Will Lynch was head of set construction.
"Our incredible cast and crew deserve all the praise in the world," Ms Friedrichsen said.
"It’s a lot of hours, but when the opening night curtain comes down there aren't enough words to express how proud I am of each and every student involved."
