ARTS Pick: Snow White

Taking a lighter approach to the Brothers Grimm’s telling of Snow White, Charlottesville Ballet tiptoes around the tale of a girl stalked by a murderous psychopath to present a forest fantasy made up of friendly animals and merrymaking dwarfs. The massive cast includes 60 local dance students in addition to 20 professional company members, and features international ballerina Nanae Matsushima of Hokkaido, Japan.

Saturday 4/23. $15-20, 4pm and 7pm. PVCC, V. Earl Dickinson Bldg., 501 College Dr. 227-7592.
