Firebird Theatre’s The Snow Queen
Firebird’s children’s theatre series continues this November with The Snow Queen! Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of friendship and magic gets a fresh Firebird adaptation with some modern humor and wacky characters. This Firelings offering is written and directed by local teen Jack Lockman under the mentorship of Firebird member Annie Flora. Based more closely on Andersen’s 1844 work than Disney’s Frozen, Firebird’s version is sillier and more fun than the original. With a cast of local teens and interactive audience bits, this show will have you giggling your way into the Thanksgiving holiday! Running in the Crested Butte Community School Multi-Purpose Room from November 15th-17th, The Snow Queen is suitable for audiences ages 5 and up. For the performance on November 15th, the show will begin at 6:30pm whereas the performances on the 16th and 17th will be 3:00pm matinees. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children age 12 & under. Tickets can be purchased either at the door or at www.firebirdcb.com/snow-queen/! We hope to see you there!
