Snow White & The Magnificent Seven in the Wild West (Midlands)
Directed by: Stacie Palmer-Young

The classic fairytale, with a twist! Snow White's life is in danger, but can local lawman Sheriff Vince Charming, and a gang of very odd cowboys, keep her safe? With plenty of jokes and songs to sing along to, this show was a sell out!

Alice's Mis-Adventures in Wolverleyland
