The annual "Giant Blue Whale Migration" brings hundreds of blue whales each spring & summer to the waters off Laguna & Newport Beach. Over 1,000 whales were viewed last spring/summer 2018 of which 130 were the giant blue whales. Giant blue whales were once considered quite rare off southern California, but over the last ten years this has changed dramatically with hundreds of giant blue whales spotted each summer. These giants of the sea reach lengths of up to 90 feet and are the largest of all animals. Along with viewing these giants view the second largest whale in the world, the finback whale which is often seen feeding in the same areas as the blue whales. Other whales encountered include humpback whales, and minke whales. Along with whales, giant pods of common and bottlenose dolphin are also very likely with pods numbering in the hundreds to over one thousand frequently viewed. These "mega" pods of dolphin are quite an amazing sight to witness with what seems like the whole ocean filled with jumping dolphin as far as you can see.
Why is the whale watching so good off Laguna & Newport Beach? Just outside of Newport Bay is the beginning of one of the largest marine protected areas in southern California created to protect this rich ecosystem for future generations. The protected marine sanctuary covers over 60 square miles off Newport & Laguna Beach and provides a haven for all marine creatures including whales and dolphin.

"Pure, lively (and live) entertainment! It is remarkable to see two dozen children abandon their electronic devices to watch a live stage performance and, when prompted, hear their advice and warnings called out to the heroine. SNOWHITE at Santa Monica Playhouse provides such a theatrical (and non-CGI) experience," raves the Tolucan Times. Richard Dean Anderson concurs, "It was great!" It's SNOWHITE, a captivating Rudie-DeCarlo musical fairytale for girls, boys, and young-at-heart audiences of all ages.
A charming tale of companionship, coming-of-age, and the magical bond between mothers and daughters, SNOWHITE takes audiences on a magical adventure as everyone's most beloved young heroine journeys to find herself, her mother, and her true destiny, aided by Seven Silly Companions and a Most Magical Mirror. No evil Stepmother here, no shadowy forests or villainous potions; just a wondrously humorous and touching story of friendship, dedication and discovery, as Snowhite, and the audience, learn that love does, indeed, conquer all, even though it can sometimes be found in the most unlikely places.
Modeled on the original 1812 Brothers Grimm tale, SNOWHITE examines stereotypes, familial bonds, ethics, friendship, the power of commitment, and the value of tolerance and understanding. Beautifully-detailed Medieval costumes by award-winning designer Ashley Hayes and sparkling set and special effects design by James Cooper from the 1854 illustrations, add to the historical authenticity of this exciting interactive family-friendly production. Audience member M. Ferrante exclaims, "Awesome! Great message!"

SNOWHITE features internationally renowned Actors' Repertory Theatre members Cydne Moore (Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast), Sarai Jimenez (Adults Keep Out, Dorothy's Adventures in OZ), and Adya Mohanty (Oliver, Author! Author! - an evening with Sholom Aleichem), joined by guest artists Taylor Cook (Law and Order, The Deerings), Liz Jennings (Witness for the Prosecution, Annie Jr), Meghan Pender (Hairspray!, Henry IV pt 1), Meghan Nealon (Into the Woods, The Secret Garden) and Noree Victoria (FX's American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson, Queen Sugar).

Special birthday parties, hosted by a gaily-costumed member of the Snowhite Fairytale Company, are available in conjunction with every performance.

Santa Monica Playhouse, celebrating 50 years of Family Theatre Musicals for Kids 2 to 102 and 59 years of continuous operation, is supported in part by the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission, the Ahmanson Foundation, and Playhouse PALS.

"Our daughter learned more about drama in one week with SMP than in all the productions she's ever done - put together. We're absolutely ecstatic!" raves educator J. Dohr. "I am continuously impressed! The workshops and plays are structured so that every child can be successful!" raves B. Clough. Daily Variety calls it, "One of the best in the country!" No small parts - no playing the second tree or third spear carrier - no double or triple casting - every child receives a role written specifically for them, based on their creative input, highlighting their strengths and challenging them to excel in all theatre skills, including performance and stage technique, teamwork, self-confidence, creative expression and communication, projection and enunciation, as well as reading and language comprehension, theatre etiquette, and a true love of and appreciation for theatre arts.
