An enchanting new adaption of Hans Christian Anderson’s classic tale, The Snow Queen is a delightful production for the whole family this Christmas.

One day in the depths of winter, the Northern Lights appear suddenly in the sky. Though no one yet knows, the Snow Queen has arrived, looking for hidden children with magic powers.
