You may think you know the story of Snow White but the Theater Kelowna Society has turned it on its head and is bringing the British pantomime version of the play to the stage.
“It’s a really funny script, it has lots of compelling and really fun characters throughout it,” said Jerome Laroche, co-director of Snow White.
“There are so many different variants of Snow White and of all Disney classics. But we still stay true to the main core [of the story].”

Meaning that the all-Okanagan cast has put a comedic spin on the classic fairytale. The two characters Bogwort and Stinkwort offer comedic relief and interact with the audience.
“We are a bunch of thugs that get hired and we are basically the ‘huntsmen’ of the story,” said Riegar Marks, who plays Stinkwort.
“[We are hired] to murder Snow White, reluctantly,” said Jacqueline Seneshen, who plays Bogwort. “It’s a lot of fun.”
