About the event. The Ukrainian theatre in Calgary presents a new production. Throughout December, actors will perform a story inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen.
This is a play about the adventures of two teenagers, their belief in the power of friendship, and their courage to overcome the dark magic of the Mighty Queen. The performance will captivate both children and adults, as everyone will find their own meaning in it.
This is the second Canadian production by Kharkiv director Snizhana Gukasyan-Korobeyniko. Earlier in the fall, Strum Theatre presented the play The Muse.
