“Snow Queen is the timeless tale reimagined through a lens of delightful whimsy and profound truth. A young girl named Gerda embarks on an adventure through icy landscapes and mystical forces to confront the complexities of love, loss, and the human spirit, and ultimately to save her brother. In Co-Artistic Director Yury Urnov’s (12th Night, My Mama and the Full-Scale Invasion) fantastical production, this heart-warming story of an enchanting odyssey will leave you believing in the magic of love and the warmth of friendship. The most dangerous evil is the one that seeks to erase our capacity for connection.”
