Theme

Snow White is meant to represent good while the queen is

meant to represent evil. A main message of this work is that good will
always prevail over evil. The queen makes multiple attempts on Snow
White's life, and yet in the end, the queen is the one sentenced to
death its themes of vanity and jealousy are just as relevant today. So too is
the resilience that Snow White shows in the face of bullying and tough
times.

Scene 1: [Once upon a time, there was a sweet and kind-hearted
princess named Snow White. Her mother died when she was
born and her father soon married another woman. Snow White’s
new stepmother was very beautiful, but also very wicked, and she
hated her pretty stepdaughter, Snow White because everyone
else in the kingdom loved her so much.]

Queen: (talking to herself) Why does everyone like her? She is

not as beautiful as me. I hate her!

[The Queen believed that if she was the most beautiful person in
the kingdom, then the people and the king would love her forever,
more than they loved Snow White. She had a magic mirror, and
every day, she asked it the same question.]

Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

[Every day, the mirror answered ...]

Mirror: Your beauty astounds me, I swear it’s true. The fairest
in all of the land is you.

[And so the Queen was satisfied. But one day the mirror’s answer
changed.]

Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
Mirror: You, my Queen, have beauty rare, but young Snow
White is twice as fair.

Queen: (screaming) No! I will ask you again. Mirror, mirror on

the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

[But the mirror’s answer did not change, and the Queen was very
angry.]

Queen: Clearly, there is only one thing to be done. Snow White

must be eliminated. Hans!

Hans: Yes, your Majesty.

Queen: I order you to take Snow White deep into the forest and
kill her! Bring me her heart so I know you
have done what I asked.

Hans: Yes, your Majesty.

Scene 2: [The next day, the Hans took Snow White deep into the
forest. When they were far from anyone who could help, he took
out a knife.]

Snow White began to weep.

Snow White: Oh, please, Hans! Don’t hurt me!

Hans: I’m sorry, princess, but the wicked Queen has ordered
me to kill you, and I must obey.

Snow White: (crying) But why? I’ve never done anything to her!

Hans: She is jealous of your beauty, Snow White.

[ Then the Hans made a decision. He put his knife away.]

Hans: You must run far, far away. I will tell the Queen I have
killed you, and then maybe you will be safe.

Snow White: Oh, thank you! Thank you for letting me go.

Scene 3: [The Hans killed a wild boar and brought its heart to the
evil Queen, who believed he had killed Snow White. Snow White
walked far into the woods.]

Snow White: I’m so tired. I need a place to rest.

[Snow White soon came upon a small cottage. It was empty, but
there were seven small beds inside. Snow White waited to see if
anyone would return who she could ask for shelter, but she was
so tired, she fell asleep. When she woke up, she found seven
people surrounding her!]

Snow White: Oh! Is this your house? I’m so sorry in came in

without asking, I just wanted to take a rest.
Lily 1: Who are you?

Stacy 2: Where did you come from?

Tricia 3: Why are you here?

Snow White: I’m Snow White. My stepmother, the Queen,

wants to kill me. I ran away and when I was so tired
of running I saw your house and thought it
would be a safe place to rest.

Lily 1: What a horrible Queen!

Stacy 2: Oh, heavens! You can stay with us, Snow White!

Tricia 3: Yes, please stay with us, Snow White! You’ll be safe
here.

[The next day, the Queen once again asked her magic mirror her
question.]

Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

Mirror: My Queen, your beauty is rare, it’s true. But Snow

White is twice as beautiful as you.

Queen: (shouting) What? The Hans betrayed me! I’ll destroy

him!
Scene 4:[The Queen was furious. She demanded that the mirror
show her Snow White. It revealed the small cottage in the woods,
and the dwarfs heading off for the day, leaving Snow White
alone.]

Queen: If you want something done right, do it yourself. Snow

White will pay for running away from me!

[The Queen dressed as an old lady selling ribbons and made her
way to the dwarfs’ cottage.]

Queen: Hello, young lady. Try these new laces for your bodice!

Snow White: Oh, they are beautiful. Will you help me

try them on?

[As soon as the laces were on, the Queen began to pull them as
tight as she could.]

Snow White: Oh, no! They’re too tight! Help!

Scene 5: [Snow White fainted. The Queen, believing she was

dead, crowed with laughter and ran back to the castle. When the
dwarfs came home and saw Snow White, they undid the laces
and soon Snow White was well again.]

Snow White: Thank you! The old lady pulled the laces so tight.
Lily 1: She must be your stepmother, the Queen.

Stacy 2: She must have found out you’re still alive!

Tricia 3: She may come again. You must be very careful, Snow
White, and not let anyone in.

[The next day, the Queen stood in front of her mirror again.]

Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

Mirror: My Queen, you’re beautiful, as well you know. But the

fairest in the land is still that girl named Snow.

Queen: That’s impossible!

[In a rage, she concocted a new plan, disguised herself again,

and went back to the people’ cottage. But Snow White
remembered the people words and did not let her in. ]

Snow White: Who is it?

Queen: Don’t be afraid young lady. I am just an old woman.

You’re so beautiful, here’s a pretty comb for your
hair!

Snow White: Oh, how wonderful! Thank you, how kind!

Scene 6: [ But the Queen had dipped the tips of the comb in
poison, and when it touched Snow White’s head, she fell down as
if dead. The Queen ran away in triumph. When the people
returned home, then quickly took the comb out. After a few
minutes, Snow White woke up.]

Lily 1: She’s all right!

Stacy 2: Snow White, that was the second time the Queen has
come here to kill you. She will try again.

Tricia 3: You must promise us that you will not let anyone into
the house!

Snow White: I promise.

[ The next day when the Queen stood before her mirror again, it
told her…]

Mirror: My Queen, I know it’s hard to hear, but Snow White’s

the fairest. That’s pretty clear.

[ The Queen flew into such a rage, she almost smashed the
mirror there and then.]

Queen: All right. No more Miss Nice Queen.

Scene 7: [The Queen’s final plan was the cruelest yet. She
disguised herself once more and headed to the people cottage.]

Queen: Good morning, beautiful girl. Would you like to share

my apple?

Snow White: It looks delicious! But, no, I can’t. Someone is

trying to hurt me, so I shouldn’t be talking to
strangers.

Queen: You’re wise to be so cautious. What if we share an

apple. If I’m eating from it, too,you know it’s safe. And I’ll
pass it through the window.

Snow White: That should be all right. Thank you, kind lady.

[ But what Snow White didn’t know was that the Queen had
poisoned only half the apple. When Snow White took a bite, she
fell down as if dead.]

Queen: Finally, she’s dead! (laughs evilly)

Lily 1: Oh, no! Snow White!

Stacy 2: I can’t wake her!

Tricia 3: The Queen has finally killed Snow White.

Scene 8: [The people were so sad. They put Snow White in a
glass coffin because she was so beautiful and stayed that way
even in death. They visited her each day with flowers. One day a
prince rode by and saw the strange scene.]

Prince: What a beautiful girl! Why is she in this glass coffin?

Does she need help?

Lily 1: Her name is Snow White.

Stacy 2: She was poisoned by an evil queen.

Tricia 3: We don’t know if she’s dead, but we haven’t been able

to wake her.

Prince: My doctors are the best in the kingdom. Let’s take her
down the mountain and get help.

[As the coffin was moved down the mountainside, the piece of
poisoned apple fell out of Snow White’s mouth and she woke up.]

Lily,Stacy,Tricia 1-3: Snow White!

Prince: Are you okay?

Snow White: I’m fine now. Thank you for saving me.
Prince: You must be a wonderful person if these peoples care
for you so much. Your beauty is unrivaled! Will
you be my Princess?

Snow White: Thank you! Yes, I will!

Scene 9: [The day of their wedding the weather are clear the sun
are shine the birds are singing and the couples are happy to be
