| The show opens to wild cavorting and primitive drumming as a wicked sorcerer shatters an evil mirror and disperses the shards throughout the land. The pure friendship of Kai and Gerda is broken when a mote strikes kai in the eye. He falls under the Snow Queen's spell of cold, hard reason, and everyone thinks he's dead. |
 |
Armed only with the power of true friendship, Gerda pursues him to the far north. Into the River of Life, through the Garden of Narcissism, to the realm of the Snow Queen, she travels to find Kai and the secrets of Eternity as well. |
| Hans Christian Andersen would have been pleased with this versatile production, and so will your audiences. |
