Some parents of students at Robert Frost Elementary in the Kingsgate neighborhood are objecting to changes made to a performance of "Snow White in the Black Forrest," which debuted Friday at the school.

Changes were requested by principle Sue Anne Sullivan to comply with the school's human-dignity and anti-bullying policies.

The production, which features fourth- through sixth-graders, was adapted from the original fairy tale by Seattle director Lani Brockman. The play is being directed by actors from Studio East.
