LETTER FROM LEADERSHIP
DEAR FRIEND OF CINCINNATI BALLET,
Welcome to our annual Family Series: Snow White! You are probably familiar with the saying, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?” That question was fi rst asked in Walt Disney’s 1937 classic fi lm, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, based on the famous fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. You may have also seen the new live-action Disney fi lm Snow White, which debuted in movie theaters last month. This story continues to be so popular for fairy tale lovers of all ages! Our Family Series: Snow White off ers the perfect introduction to ballet with delightful storytelling, live narration, and incredible dance. The performance features Cincinnati Ballet’s Second Company – CB2 dancers, as well as Professional Training Division students and dozens of students from our Otto M. Budig Academy. It’s such a unique opportunity for these Academy students to participate in mainstage productions, something only Cincinnati Ballet can off er young dancers in the region. Our CB2 dancers also perform with the Company in our other mainstage productions, including The Nutcracker and The Wizard of Oz from earlier this season, but the Family Series is their chance to shine in a production that is all their own. You’ll also see two adults on stage who aren’t dancing. They’re actors playing the Brothers Grimm; They’re our storytellers, who’ll guide us through this special story. While we do have seven dwarfs, they don’t have names like Doc, Sleepy, or Dopey. Our dwarfs have developed their own characters and relationships you’ll see play out on stage. Just as in the Disney version, our Snow White has animal friends she encounters in the woods, including a Bunny and an Owl. Snow White also has a Bluebird as a special companion. The evil Queen has a bird of her own, a dark Raven. As for the magic mirror, the story wouldn’t be complete without it but pay close attention to our production mirror as it harbors a secret surprise.
We truly hope you enjoy this entertaining interpretation of the beloved story as much as we do.
YOSHIHISA ARAI Director of Second Company – CB2

SYNOPSIS
SNOW WHITE
In a far-away land, a good king and queen dream of having a child. After a long wait, they are blessed with a baby girl, whom they name Snow White. Shortly after Snow White’s birth, the good queen dies. The king remarries, but this time to a proud and vain queen who values her beauty above all else. Snow White grows older and lovelier and, on her sixteenth birthday, meets a handsome prince. The vain queen begins to fear that Snow White’s beauty will surpass her own. She orders her huntsman to take Snow White into the forest and kill her. But the huntsman spares her life, and Snow White fi nds refuge in the comfort of the forest animals, who lead her to the cozy cottage of seven friendly dwarfs.
The vain queen learns from her magic mirror that Snow White is still alive and forms a new plan to kill the young girl. Disguised as a peddler, the bain queen visits the dwarfs’ cottage and tempts Snow White with a poisoned apple. Snow White cannot resist and falls to the ground after one bite. The dwarfs return home from their mines to fi nd Snow White’s body and place her in a glass coffi n. Then one day, the handsome prince Snow White met on her 16th birthday fi nds the dwarfs’ cottage while traveling through the forest. With true love’s kiss, he awakens Snow White from the poisoned apple’s spell. Snow White and the prince return to the kingdom together and live happily ever after.

It’s all right here if she needs it.
Watching our beloved Barbara settle into life at Marjorie P. Lee has been an incredible relief. We want her to have more than great memory care—she deserves to have a home where she feels safe, comfortable, and engaged for years to come.
Here, she has it all—a secure environment, compassionate caregivers, and a warm community where she’s treated with dignity and respect. She enjoys chef-prepared meals, meaningful activities, and new friendships. We have peace of mind knowing that as her care needs change, she can stay at Marjorie P. Lee. We’re so glad they offer the services she will need in the future—all right here under one roof.
Schedule a tour today! Contact Jenn Schlotbom at 513.533.5000 or jschlotbom@erslife.org. Visit erslife.info/mpl_mc or scan the QR code.
