The Snow Queen

While playing in the town square on his sled, Kai is kidnapped by the Snow Queen and taken to her ice palace north of the Arctic Circle where she keeps him prisoner by freezing his heart. His friend Gerta goes in search of him on a long and perilous adventure, meeting many strange and something comical characters and learning many valuable lessons. Eventually the warmth of her heart thaws Kai's and he returns with her to their warmer homeland.

This beautiful blending of a narrated dance/drama and a thrilling action story shows off Hans Christian Andersen's story at its best. Parts of all kinds will allow students to shine as they see this story come to life and experience all the lessons it has within it, not the least of which is that lover is the true miracle that will melt a heart that has grown cold.
