The Producers of Puss ‘n Boots and The Pied Piper Presents
Snow White and Rose Red
Written and Directed by Sarah Delahunty
11 – 25 April
AT 4 Moncrieff St., Mt. Victoria
Who needs Dancing with the Stars, when you can have Dancing with the Bears?
It all began when the hunters came and the animals disappeared. Snow White misses the animals and Rose Red needs a dance
partner. Together the sisters go on a quest to find both. As luck would have it, on their adventures they meet a prince
who loves animals and a bear who can dance! A delightful tale of dance competitions and animal rights.
