“The Rockin’ Tale of Snow White,” the Fort Dodge Middle School seventh and eighth grade musical, will be performed at 7 p.m. on April 15 in the Fort Dodge Middle School auditorium.

This funny adaptation of the story of Snow White brings new characters and comedic twists to life as a modern mom reads the Brothers Grimm tale to her restless children. In addition to the well-known cast of the kind princess, evil queen, multiple dwarves and the morally conflicted Huntsman, this musical introduces us to some fresh new faces such as rhyme-happy ladies-in-waiting and a stick-in-the-mud governmental representative out to ruin everyone’s good time.

“The middle school musical is an important tradition,” said Joan Ascherl, FDMS vocal instructor. “It provides students an opportunity to express themselves and experience a stage based musical performance before entering high school. Involvement in the musical often leads to new friendships and self-confidence with many students saying it’s one of their favorite middle school memories.”

Due to COVID-19 safety measures, each cast member will receive four tickets to the show. Additional tickets may be available the night of the performance, depending on how many cast member tickets are used. General admission tickets will be $4 each if they are available.
