Helen Hayes Award–nominated company will bring back its festive musical favorite, directed by Danny Tippett, November 26, 2025–January 11, 2026.
Adventure Theatre MTC, the 2025 eleven-time Helen Hayes Award–nominated theatre company, will invite families to celebrate the holiday season with the musical magic of FROSTY THE SNOW MAN, directed by actor, director, and longtime ATMTC collaborator Danny Tippett.
The production, based on the classic holiday song by Walter “Jack” Rollins and Steve Nelson, will open November 26, 2025, and run through January 11, 2026, at the company’s home in Glen Echo Park.
Frosty the Snow Man tells a whimsical story of friendship, laughter, and the fleeting magic of winter. This merry wintertime romp follows Frosty as he bounces, twirls, and melts his way into the hearts of children and adults alike—warming even the iciest of hearts. “This show is another feather in Adventure Theatre MTC’s magical hat of holiday favorites,” said Artistic Director Kurt Boehm. “We’re surrounded by family—both onstage and off—and that’s what the holidays are all about. We’re thrilled to welcome longtime friend Danny Tippett back to Adventure, along with a talented cast and creative team who continue to bring our stage to life with imagination and heart.”

Brigid Wallace Harper portrays Mary Ann, Irene Hamilton plays Geraldine, and Jordan Brown appears as Joey/Delivery Boy, alongside Walker Vlahos as Charley. Swings Cayla Hall and Jackson Saunders round out the ensemble.
