Snow White is a story most of us inherit before we ever question it. It arrives already shaped by a long history of who has been centered in it, and who has not.

Coming back to it now, the question for us was simple: who gets to see themselves in this story today?

This production is carried by two actors, telling the story in full, shifting between characters and holding the entire world of the play between them. It strips the story down to its essentials and asks us to look again. Not at what we remember, but at what still matters.

We have seen what happens when a young person recognizes themselves on stage. It is not a small moment. Something shifts. The room changes. They sit a little taller. They feel a little less alone. That kind of recognition stays with them.

Snow White has often been told in a way that leaves many people outside of it. This is our way of opening that door.

At its core, it remains a story about agency. About a young person stepping out of what has been decided for them and beginning to define themselves on their own terms.

We are grateful to the artists who brought this to life, to our partners at Centaur Theatre, and to you for being here with us.
