The Snow Queen
About the Play
The Snow Queen has set her sights on ruling the world and burying it in snow and ice!
With the help of her bumbling minions, she sets in motion a whirlwind adventure that has the citizens of the Kingdom of Arendal wondering why it is snowing in July!
An unlikely band of heroes and heroines (and of course the Dame and a dicey reindeer) join forces to stop the evil Snow Queen before she can manipulate a young princess into doing her bidding and forever casting the world into doom and gloom.
Answers to these burning questions and more will be revealed…
So WHY is it snowing in JULY?
What lurks on The Lonely Glacier?
Is there really no better business than ‘snow’ business?
What’s in a name… apparently a lot!
