B Street Theatre Adds Performances of 'The Snow Queen'

The Snow Queen wants to bring coldness to the world. She creates a magic mirror that distorts people to show only the ugly, mean spirited sides of their nature. When some slivers of the mirror make their way into Kay's eyes and heart, he leaves home for the Snow Queen's palace.

Gerda, his sister, sets off to rescue him and along the way encounters a Princess, a talking crow, a group of robbers and a mysterious woman from the north. When Gerda finally reaches the Snow Palace, it is a battle of good versus evil as she and the Snow Queen square off for the soul of Kay. Will the cold win out or will Gerda learn that the best defense against the frigid winter is the warmth of love in her heart?

The Snow Queen is the first show of B Street's 2011-12 Family Series.

David Pierini is a member of the B Street Acting Company and was last seen onstage in God of Carnage, and ‘B on K': B Street's Sketch Comedy Night. This will be David's forth original adaptation for the Family Series; previous adaptations include Pinocchio, The Princess and the Pauper and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He also co-wrote an adaptation of A Christmas Carol with Buck Busfield.
