Coming to Triad Stage December 2013: Snow Queen

Snow Queen

by Preston Lane with original music by Laurelyn Dossett
inspired by THE SNOW QUEEN by Hans Christian Andersen

Drive the winter away. When a young boy disappears on a winter’s day in the heart of Appalachia, his best friend sets out to bring him home. So begins a journey through snow and ice, leaving the everyday world behind, as a magical winter time path leads deeper into a frozen kingdom. Inspired by the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, this world premiere adventure for audiences of all ages transports the story to the highest peaks of the Blue Ridge.

From the creators of BROTHER WOLF, BEAUTIFUL STAR, BLOODY BLACKBEARD and PROVIDENCE GAP, SNOW QUEEN weaves music, magic and make believe to celebrate the courage of a brave young girl.

This is where Americana and Appalachian music meet

I think Levon would approve. Besides, it’s time to warm things up around here. We put together a super hot band for these cold January nights next weekend, and the project features some of my favorite players. Take a look.

  • Scott Manring (legend) guitar, banjo, and all sorts of strings
  • Eric Robertson (Beaconwood, Boston Boys) mandolin
  • Jason Sypher (The Gathering, Susan McKeown) stand up bass
  • Eddie Walker (Big Bang Boom) percussion
