Hans Christian Andersen\u2019s classic fairy tale, \u201cThe Snow Queen<\/a>,\u201d was adapted by playwright Michael Oosterom. The story is about a young girl named Gerda who must find her best friend Kai and save him from the Ice Palace of the Snow Queen. Her magical quest through a frozen world may well have been the inspiration for the Disney production, \u201cFrozen.\u201d The play is full of excitement, fun characters, laughs and puppets \u2013 and it\u2019s great for all ages.<\/p>\n
