Mirror, Mirror captures the essence of the classic Snow White tale, bringing the story to life with singing, dance and theatrical performance from Metropolitan Fine Arts students, ranging in age from 3 years old to adults. Instead of the classic seven dwarfs, MFAC is presenting their twist on the fable, showcasing eight.
“Mirror, Mirror is one of my favorite shows, as I’ve always love the classic fairy tales,” said Melissa Dobbs, executive director of Metropolitan Fine Arts Center of Alexandria, Va. “The show offers the richness of dance and song, combined with the drama of good versus evil and the engaging personalities of our dwarfs,” said Dobbs.
