ILWACO Once upon a time in a legendary kingdom, lived a royal princess, fairest in the land.

She would meet a prince. Theyd fall in love and then some. Such a noble story told for your delight. Tis a little rockin tale of pure Snow White!

The story of Snow White has been told since 1937. There have been many different spins on the classic fairy tale. It has been portrayed as a childrens story, a story of romance, and even recently an action-packed thriller.

So how can Ilwaco High School take this overly famous plotline and recapture their audiences attention? By turning it into a comedic musical complete with singing bats and a rapping mirror!

This is the second musical in four years performed by the Ilwaco High School drama club and the fourth production directed by Rachel Lake. It takes a lot of hard work to put together a musical. Not only are there lines to fine tune, but also songs and choreography. The cast has been spending all of their nights warming up their vocal chords and running through the script till its perfect. Itll definitely be a show worth going to!

The set is built, the costumes have been made, and the cast of 35 have been rehearsing since Feb. 6 to recreate the amazing essence of Snow White. All thats left are the lights, the cameras, the action, and of course, the audience. Dont miss the chance to see this unusually spectacular twist on the story we all know and love.
