Snow White is Coming!
Carson Valley Community Theatre’s production of “Snow White
Goes West” is Snow White with a Stetson! Set during the
California Gold Rush, this rambunctious tongue-in-cheek retelling of
the timeless classic pits the hapless heroine against an ill-tempered
saloon hall owner named Queenie and her assistant Sneaky Sam. In
true fairy tale fashion, all ends well, thanks to handsome marshal Joe
Prince and the seven prospecting Dwarf Brothers.
Featured in the lead role of Snow White is Gardnerville’s Riley
Cooper. Robert Miller plays Joe Prince, Margaret Edson has the
role of Queenie, and Linda Diego cavorts about as the villainous Sneaky
Sam. The Dwarf Brothers are played by Mike Trute, Mike Murphy, Al
Mellon, Carol Schirlls, Leah Walters, and Diana Borges. Other
supporting cast members are Wayne Walters and Chandon Robiscotti, and
the whole thing is narrated by veteran actor Jim Dezurga. The
musical comedy is directed by Norris Edson assisted by Sue Kinney as
musical director and Carol Schwartz as choreographer.
The show opens March 23rd at the CVIC Hall in Minden and continues
weekends through April 1st. Tickets will go on sale in
mid-February. Watch for future announcements of ticket sales or
