SNOW QUEEN

Footlight Dance Centre, under the Artistic Direction of Hilarie Neely, presents “SNOW QUEEN”, Friday, Saturday, MAY 5-6, 7:00 pm and Sunday, May 7, 2:00 pm, at the WRHS Performing Arts Theater at the Community Campus in Hailey. A classic fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, written in 1844, originally written in seven chapters. The prologue introduces us to the Snow Queen in her ice palace where hobgoblins have made a magic mirror. Good and evil are a part of the story where respect, perseverance and loyalty finds two friends looking for each other after one is captured by the mirrors’ spell. Gerda sets off on a journey encountering different characters until she arrives at the snow palace to save her friend Kai. Disney was inspired to tell the story in their “Frozen” franchised series.

The Snow Queen will be played by Hazel Ludwig, a senior at WRHS, the two friends Gerda & Kai by Ava Knowles, Senior, and Leo Star, Junior. Piper Kolb will play the Crow, Lilia Page the Princess lead, and Bridgette Silva the Rose Princess, all are Seniors. Georgia Geagan will carry the role of Nomad lead and Riley Jessen, Vagabond lead, both are also graduating this year.
Says Bridgette Silva, Senior, “Being part of the Snow Queen has been incredibly impactful. I have learned how much dedication and passion it takes from everyone involved and how much I love to dance. I am so grateful and excited to be part of this production!”
