Fairy Tale Readers Theater: Snow White
Reader Roles: Narrator, Queen, Snow White, Mirror, Huntsman,
Dwarf 1, Dwarf 2, Dwarf 3, Prince
Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a sweet and kind-hearted princess
named Snow White. Her mother died when she was born and her father soon
married another woman. Snow Whites new stepmother was very beautiful,
but also very wicked, and she hated her pretty stepdaughter, Snow White
because everyone else in the kingdom loved her so much.
Queen: (talking to herself) Why does everyone like her? She is not as
beautiful as me. I hate her!
Narrator: The Queen believed that if she was the most beautiful person in
the kingdom, then the people and the king would love her forever, more than
they loved Snow White. She had a magic mirror, and every day, she asked it
the same question.
Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
Narrator: Every day, the mirror answered ...
Mirror: Your beauty astounds me, I swear its true. The fairest in all of the
land is you.
Narrator: And so the Queen was satisfied. But one day the mirrors answer
changed.
Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
Mirror: You, my Queen, have beauty rare, but young Snow White is twice as
fair.
Queen: (screaming) No! I will ask you again. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who
is the fairest of them all?
Narrator: But the mirrors answer did not change, and the Queen was very
angry.
Queen: Clearly, there is only one thing to be done. Snow White must be
eliminated. Huntsman!
Huntsman: Yes, your Majesty.
Queen: I order you to take Snow White deep into the forest and kill her!
Bring me her heart so I know you have done what I asked.
Huntsman: Yes, your Majesty.
Narrator: The next day, the Huntsman took Snow White deep into the
forest. When they were far from anyone who could help, he took out a knife.
Snow White began to weep.
Snow White: Oh, please, Huntsman! Dont hurt me!
Huntsman: Im sorry, princess, but the wicked Queen has ordered me to kill
you, and I must obey.
Snow White: (crying) But why? Ive never done anything to her!
Huntsman: She is jealous of your beauty, Snow White.
Narrator: Then the Huntsman made a decision. He put his knife away.
Huntsman: You must run far, far away. I will tell the Queen I have killed
you, and then maybe you will be safe.
Snow White: Oh, thank you! Thank you for letting me go.

Narrator: Once upon a time, there was a sweet and kind-hearted princess named Snow White. Her mother died when she was born and her father soon married another woman. Snow White’s new stepmother was very beautiful, but also very wicked, and she hated her pretty stepdaughter, Snow White because everyone else in the kingdom loved her so much. Queen: (talking to herself) Why does everyone like her? She is not as beautiful as me. I hate her! Narrator: The Queen believed that if she was the most beautiful person in the kingdom, then the people and the king would love her forever, more than they loved Snow White. She had a magic mirror, and every day, she asked it the same question. Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Narrator: Every day, the mirror answered ... Mirror: Your beauty astounds me, I swear it’s true. The fairest in all of the land is you. Narrator: And so the Queen was satisfied. But one day the mirror’s answer changed. Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Mirror: You, my Queen, have beauty rare, but young Snow White is twice as fair. Queen: (screaming) No! I will ask you again. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Narrator: But the mirror’s answer did not change, and the Queen was very angry. Queen: Clearly, there is only one thing to be done. Snow White must be eliminated. Huntsman! Huntsman: Yes, your Majesty. Queen: I order you to take Snow White deep into the forest and kill her! Bring me her heart so I know you have done what I asked. Huntsman: Yes, your Majesty. Narrator: The next day, the Huntsman took Snow White deep into the forest. When they were far from anyone who could help, he took out a knife. Snow White began to weep. Snow White: Oh, please, Huntsman! Don’t hurt me!

Huntsman: I’m sorry, princess, but the wicked Queen has ordered me to kill

you, and I must obey. Snow White: (crying) But why? I’ve never done anything to her! Huntsman: She is jealous of your beauty, Snow White. Narrator: Then the Huntsman made a decision. He put his knife away.

Huntsman: You must run far, far away. I will tell the Queen I have killed

you, and then maybe you will be safe. Snow White: Oh, thank you! Thank you for letting me go.

Narrator: The Huntsman killed a wild boar and brought its heart to the evil Queen, who believed he had killed Snow White. Snow White walked far into the woods. Snow White: I’m so tired. I need a place to rest. Narrator: Snow White soon came upon a small cottage. It was empty, but there were seven small beds inside. Snow White waited to see if anyone would return who she could ask for shelter, but she was so tired, she fell asleep. When she woke up, she found seven dwarfs surrounding her! Snow White: Oh! Is this your house? I’m so sorry in came in without asking, I just wanted to take a rest. Dwarf 1: Who are you? Dwarf 2: Where did you come from? Dwarf 3: Why are you here? Snow White: I’m Snow White. My stepmother, the Queen, wants to kill me. I ran away and when I was so tired of running I saw your house and thought it would be a safe place to rest. Dwarf 1: What a horrible Queen! Dwarf 2: Oh, heavens! You can stay with us, Snow White! Dwarf 3: Yes, please stay with us, Snow White! You’ll be safe here. Narrator: The next day, the Queen once again asked her magic mirror her question. Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Mirror: My Queen, your beauty is rare, it’s true. But Snow White is twice as beautiful as you. Queen: ( shouting ) What? The Huntsman betrayed me! I’ll destroy him! Narrator: The Queen was furious. She demanded that the mirror show her Snow White. It revealed the small cottage in the woods, and the dwarfs heading off for the day, leaving Snow White alone. Queen: If you want something done right, do it yourself. Snow White will pay for running away from me! Narrator: The Queen dressed as an old lady selling ribbons and made her way to the dwarfs’ cottage. Queen: Hello, young lady. Try these new laces for your bodice! Snow White: Oh, they are beautiful. Will you help me try them on? Narrator: As soon as the laces were on, the Queen began to pull them as tight as she could. Snow White: Oh, no! They’re too tight! Help! Narrator: Snow White fainted. The Queen, believing she was dead, crowed with laughter and ran back to the castle. When the dwarfs came home and saw Snow White, they undid the laces and soon Snow White was well again. Snow White: Thank you! The old lady pulled the laces so tight. Dwarf 1: She must be your stepmother, the Queen. Dwarf 2: She must have found out you’re still alive! Dwarf 3: She may come again. You must be very careful, Snow White, and not let anyone in. Narrator: The next day, the Queen stood in front of her mirror again. Queen: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Mirror: My Queen, you’re beautiful, as well you know. But the fairest in the land is still that girl named Snow. Queen: That’s impossible! Narrator: In a rage, she concocted a new plan, disguised herself again, and went back to the dwarfs’ cottage. But Snow White remembered the dwarfs’ words and did not let her in. Snow White: Who is it?
