SNOW WHITE and the SEVEN DWARVES
A Lux Radio Theater adaptation of the classic Disney animated feature.
Celebrating the 70th anniversary of the classic film, old-time radio show troupe "Those Thrilling Days of Yesteryear" will bring Disney magic to the Oak Park Arms this December with their production of the Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves."
"We did most of the other Lux adaptations -- they work well for the holidays, " said Ben Dooley, director/producer of the troupe. "We have a great cast with rich, distinctive voices. It's great to utilize them this way."
When asked what makes an old-time radio treatment of a classic Disney animated film come alive, Dooley noted, "Using the power of the imagination that comes with radio, I'm wanting the children to cuddle up with mom and dad during the scary parts -- and barely able to contain their glee at all the songs and "Hi Ho" happiness! I hope our production reminds everyone why this is one of the greatest films of all time." To reflect it's time-tested quality, the radio troupe will also hold a "Snow White" trivia contest after the show.
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" will be performed live onstage at the Oak Park Arms, 408 S. Oak Park Avenue on Sunday, December at 2 PM. Admission is free and the public is very much welcome to attend -- and little ones are encouraged to join in on the fun!
TTDY is a radio troupe comprised of professional actors and voice-over artists and has been providing top-notch entertainment to Oak Park Arms residents and the near by community for 8 years.
Admission is free and it's fun for the whole family.
