A CLASSIC TALE OF GOOD VS. EVIL
“The Snow Queen” is a musical retelling of the classic children’s tale. First published in 1845, it focuses on the struggle between good and evil as experienced by a little boy and girl, Kai and Gerda.

The show is recommended for ages five and up, and offers fantasy, magic, laughter and mystery.
HAND-CRAFTED PUPPETS
The puppets are hand-crafted and made for the production, and feature an original music score.
RUSSIAN ROOTS
PuppetART was founded by three Russian puppeteers in 1995, and toured throughout Michigan and other nearby states until 1998 when they established a theatre in Detroit.
