Disney’s Frozen Pre-Show Workshop & Performance *All Ages
Thursday, April 9 | 6:00–6:45 PM & Performance at 7:00 PM
Marcus Performing Arts Center (Studio LL)

Matches are invited to join a professional teaching artist before the show for a pre-show workshop! Take a peek behind the curtain at the story and characters from Frozen while participating in interactive theater games and activities.

Then stay and enjoy the performance of Disney’s Frozen. In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she has desperately tried to conceal take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home, with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf. Full of magic, humor, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
