Undermain Theatre previews and opens The Snow Queen this week

by Shawn Parikh

The "fairy tale for strange adults" is coming soon. You can see it for $10.

Undermain Theatre's 24th season is continuing with a work by innovative playwright and poet, Lynne Alvarez. The Snow Queen will be presented from December 1-22, with previews November 28-30 for only $10-15. The Snow Queen is the tale of an older woman, a younger man, a younger woman and many birds.

Commissioned by Undermain Theatre, Alvarez has fashioned a beautiful ice covered world set in Denmark in the early 1890s to showcase the grandeur that is love. Nina, the Snow Queen, has migrated south yet once again to find her “boy” for the season. Upon running into Christian, she chooses him and whisks him away up north for the winter. But relationships are never that easy, and even though Nina has all the glitz and glamour on her side, as the winter draws to an end and spring appears, Analiese, the young heroine, journeys north to find her love. Thus a timeless tale wrought with danger, adventure, and love, The Snow Queen is a fairytale for adults that still believe in magic.

Directed by Katherine Owens, the play features Christian Taylor, Rhonda Boutte, Kent Williams, Shannon Kearns-Simmons, Anastasia Munoz, and Matthew Posey. Purchase tickets online or by calling 214-747-5515.
