Ballet Dancers To Bring 'Snow White' To Life At Beck Center

LAKEWOOD, OH — The old familiar tale of "Snow White" will come to life at the Beck Center for the Arts Stage as a ballet in April.

More than 50 Beck Center dance students will be showcased in the production. The story will follow Snow White from birth to age 16 and will feature dancing cupcakes, plenty of cute animals, snowflakes, and ends with a kiss.

“Snow White Ballet" was first presented by our dance department in 2019. Over fifty students ages 7-18 have been cast in this production. All of the dancers are eager to perform in the Senney Theater this spring, and each dancer plays a special part in making this fairytale come alive through dance," said Melanie Szucs, associate director of dance education at Beck Center.

The hour-long ballet is suitable for adults and children of all ages and will be filled with colorful costumes and sets. The show is choreographed by Szucs and produced by the Beck Dance Workshop and select dance students.

The ballet will have a limited showing in the Senney Theater. It debuts April 8 at 7:30 p.m. and will be run again on April 9 at 7:30 p.m. A final performance will be held April 10 at 2:30 p.m. A sensory-friendly early performance will be held April 7 at 10 a.m. in the Senney. For more information on the sensory-friendly performance, contact Ed Gallagher by email.

The April 8 performance will also be live streamed. Tickets for that stream are available now.

Tickets for the in-person performances are available now and cost $12 for adults and $10 for children. Tickets can be purchased online through the Beck Center website. Anyone older than 2 attending the in-person shows must wear a mask while inside the Beck facilities. Attendees over the age of 12 must show a COVID-19 vaccination card or proof of a negative test before being admitted to the theater.
