Venture into the black forest with a beautiful princess and her band of tiny miners in "Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs," a Missoula Children's Theatre (MCT) production set to take the stage at Fairfield University's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts on Friday, July 18, at 7:30 p.m. The show is one of six offered this summer as part of the Quick Center's children's Summer Theatre workshops. A second production of "Snow White," with a different cast, will take place Friday, Aug. 8, at 7:30 p.m.

An original adaptation of the beloved tale, MCT's "Snow White" will include a cast of at least 50 local students in the workshop. Now in its 14th season, the Children's Summer Theatre Workshops offers six weekly sessions for young people in grades 1 through 12, each culminating in a Friday evening performance. Throughout the week, the participants rehearse their roles with directors from MCT, the country's preeminent professional children's theatre company. They take workshops led by professionals in movement, improvisation, arts and crafts and more.

Tickets for "Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs" are $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens and children 2 to 12. Children under 2 are not admitted to help make sure the children on stage can give their full attention to their performances. Discounted group rates and subscriptions are available.
