Let's Pretend for Real By DIANA D. HATCH Children attending the Onondaga Hillplayers production of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" on Saturday, Nov. 6, won't just be watching the action they'll be a part of it. "The children will play the trees, sun, rain and even six of the dwarfs," said Fay Thibeault, production coordinator for the play.

"They'll also learn how to be an audience." She believes it will be a unique theatrical experience for everyone at both the 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. performances. Rather than a traditional auditorium, the show will be done in the cafeteria of the Split Rock School on Howlett Hill Road. Director Mama Conley is expanding on the suggestion from author, Maurice Berger, that the viewers be involved in his adaptation of the original fairytale.

The man who will make it happen is Robert E. Krigbaum who is cast as the storyteller, the stage manager, chief dwarf and finally prince. "Bob has been practicing with some of the children of Onondaga Hillplayers. He'll ask them where Snow White can hide as she flees the wicked queen," said Mrs. Thibeault.

To provide a forest to shelter the frightened princess, Bob will grow one on the spot. Some children will be trees, first curled up as little seeds. Then the suns will beam down and the seeds will sprout. The raindrops will circulate around, nourishing the seedlings till they rise up, grown strong and tall and gather round to hide Snow White from her conniving stepmother, Mrs. Thibeault explained.

Once the mean queen goes back to her mirror, the children turn into an audience again. But who ever heard of a silent forest, the Storyteller will ask? No sooner will he speak than the magic of participatory theater takes over and the room will be filled with little birds hatching out of eggs, learning how to flap their wings, and finally, to sing. A team of three young teenagers will be positioned around the room to help the magic happen, Mrs. Thibeault said. "We'll choose six volunteers to become dwarfs.

They'll follow Bob around singing £Hi Ho, Hi Ho' and wear little hats. When he becomes the prince, they'll remain behind to guard the forest," she continued. Other major roles in the production will include Leslie Cunningham as Snow White; Athena Lyn Smith as the wicked Queen Mother, and Mary Kate Faloon as the royal huntsman. The setting is open and informal but a lot of attention has been given to the set and costuming, Mrs. Thibeault explained.

"The children will be seeing the costumes close up so the brocades must be cord we use Sue Samolis created a set using two large screens with fantasy paintings. They double as a forest, a castle and as a place where the queen becomes the witch and the storyteller assumes his varied roles. Stage manager for the production is Sarah Skill man. The Hillplayers plan to tour locally with this children's piay.They have been doing one a year for about a decade, Mrs. Thibeault said.

But this is the first time they have so extensively involved the Those interested may call Mrs. Thibeault at 468 5472.

I have a 16 year old daughter I'll call Barbie.

Well; Barbie believes that it's everyone's right to do as he pleases as long as it doesn't hurt anybody and there is no law against it. This includes going braless, and that's what Barbie does. She's a nice looking girl, but she's "top heavy." Her teacher has called me three times to tell me that if I keep letting Barbie come to school without a bra, she will be Abby, do you know of any 16 year old high school girl who lets her mother dress her? Neither do and that's my problem. She's a good student and I've never had any trouble with her until now. Can you help me? BARBIE'S TROUBLED MOM DEAR MOM: Does the school have a dress code? If it does, and a bra is required, Barbie could be out of bounds in more ways than one.

If there is no dress code, toe complaining teacher is guilty of making threats she can't carry oat, and SHE is out of bounds. Call the high school principal and get the Family Affair Gloria up the!
