When the Snow Queen abducts her beloved friend Kai, Gerda begins a magical and perilous journey to find him, encountering friends, flowers, fiends, and an enormously critical crow. PuppetART’s production of the classic Hans Christian Anderson fairytale uses a remarkable variety of techniques and effects in its storytelling, including marionettes, rod puppets, hand puppets, projections, and costumes that double as scenery. Original music and lyrics by Maria Miheyenko.
