Synopsis: Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen like you’ve never seen it before, a rare theatrical hybrid of concert, storytelling, and movement that will cast a spell on adults and children alike. Set in Andersen’s imagined world of swirling shards of ice, The Snow Queen tells the story Gerda, who embarks on a quest to find her friend Kay, spirited away by the Snow Queen to live in frozen isolation.

Synopsis: At the age of 36, Franz Kafka was still living at home, a petty bureaucrat, a failed artist, a timid Jewish son. Ruling and ruining his life was his overbearing father, Hermann. What to do? Kafka wrote a 50-page letter to his father in which he reveals deep connections between his life and his fiction. Adapted from this monumental letter, Kafka and Son is a blistering, often hilarious, dissection of domestic authority, and a revelatory visit with one of the architects of the modern psyche.
