The Snow Queen

The Snow Queen 
December 3 – 29, 2019

Just in time for the holidays, Synetic presents a whimsical, family-friendly adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairy tale, The Snow Queen. Join Gerda, a little girl with gumption, a magic mirror, and a quest to save her best friend, as she sets out on a life-changing journey that takes her over mountains and across distant lands to the Snow Kingdom. Once there, she harnesses her inner-strength and wit to defeat the coldest threat of all.
