Snow White

By Kyle Encinas
Minstrel Songs and Lyrics by Alyssa Wilden
Produced by NextStop Theatre Company
Directed by Kristen Pilgrim

NextStop Theatre commissioned Kyle Encinas to write a new TYA version of the classic Brothers Grimm tale where the heroine defies the path set before her to live out her story, her way - which includes learning Kung Fu with the Dwarves!

The many action sequences in the play were underscored with original high-energy musical compositions. The following underscore was used after Snow first finds herself in the forest, broken free from living out her life as the Minstrel saw fit. She realizes she must do things for herself and face the frights of the forest head-on. The music made a return for the curtain call. After bows in this production Snow invited the audience to come on stage to take pictures with the cast, so an extended version of the song (begins about 50 seconds in) was created to keep the party going - selfies galore!

Snow encourages the reluctant dwarves to learn Kung Fu in this next sequence. When they finally agree, the secret scroll is revealed and all are transformed in to Kung Fu masters fit for a montage!
