Meeting the Fairest of Them All

The Southeast Georgia Children's Theater put on a live version of Snow White this weekend, and I took Olivia to see it. Snow White is Olivia's favorite "princess", so she was excited to get a chance to meet her. The play itself was really cute. It varied from the traditional story and incorporated a lot of "kid" elements (like Snow White and the forest animal dancing the Hokey Pokey). All of the singing and dancing really kept Olivia's attention.

I didn't realize it before we went, but the girl playing Snow White was a former student of mine. She was great about talking to Olivia and letting Olivia hug her (which Olivia did on three different occasions). At one point in the play Snow White had to walk down the aisle close to where we were sitting. When she got to where we were, she leaned over and said "Hi, Olivia". That really made Olivia happy. After the play was over, we gave Snow White one final hug and left. On the way out we passed the mean Queen who told us good-bye. Once we were in the car Olivia said, "Mommy, the mean Queen told me bye-bye. She is nice".
