Gusto Theatre in London will open the 2010 season with hundreds treading the boards.

Well, maybe about 60, as the company opens the year with L. Henry Dowell’s “Snow White and the 47 Dwarves.”

The play opens tonight, continues through Sunday and returns next weekend as well.

Gusto calls “Snow White and the 47 Dwarves” a wacky take on the classic fairy tale.

“What happens,” the company asks, “when you mix an articulate mirror, a conceited queen, a prince dressed in purple, forty-seven little people with personality issues, a basket of kumquats and a little ‘Star Wars’ for good measure?”

The answer, “Snow White and the 47 Dwarves.”

The Gusto Theatre is at 206 North Main in London.

Curtain on Thursday, Friday and Saturday is 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. for both weekends. Tickets range from $6 to $8.

For more information, call 606-864-8786.

The company has scheduled at least a dozen performances for 2010.

The February selection is “Love Letters” set for Feb. 13 and 14 in a special dinner theatre presentation.

Following that is “The Four Presidents” on Feb. 18-21 and 25-28.

“The Odd Couple,” will play March 18-21 and 25-28.

April will see “Charlotte’s Web,” May, “So, Who Was That Masked Guy Anyway” and June, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.”

The rest of the year will entertain “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Murder Most Fowl!” during the Chicken Festival, “The Dracula Spectacula,” “The Crucible,” and “A Christmas Carol.”
