Legend of the Snow Queen is a story of friendship, magic, and adventure that celebrates compassion and high epic fantasy.

She is allied with a misfit group of creatures who help her to harness the power of her own unique gifts. Gerda faces the Snow Queen and embarks on a dangerous adventure that leaves her forever changed.
Legend of the Snow Queen is adapted, designed, and directed by UConn Puppet Arts MFA candidate Matt Sorensen and features UConn Puppet Arts students Felicia Cooper, Esme Roszel and Tracy Becker. The lighting design is created by Matt Lazarus, and an original score has been written by Lucky Cerruti.
