Few writers have left as indelible a mark on the world’s imagination as Hans Christian Andersen. Born in Denmark in 1805, Andersen rose from humble beginnings to become one of the most celebrated storytellers in history. His fairy tales — such as The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes, and The Nightingale — have transcended generations and borders, enchanting children and adults alike with their delicate blend of wonder, melancholy, and moral insight.
Join us for a lively scripts-in-hand presentation of an array of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved fairytales. With such magical storytelling at play, there's something for everyone!
