Winter is coming for Young Actors Theatre with Disney's 'Frozen Jr.'

Following "Little Women," Young Actors Theatre continues its “Springtime of Sisterhood,” with a presentation of Disney’s "Frozen Jr.," featuring the dynamic duo Princesses Anna and Elsa of Arendelle, for two weeks – April 8-16.

With a fitting last name for the production, Director Whitney Snow says, “Frozen blew into the zeitgeist in 2013 and continues to touch the hearts of children and adults. No longer is ‘true love’s kiss’ the remedy to save the day in fairytales.”

The YAT alumna continues, “To be sure, it is true love, but the Disney definition of love has expanded to the true love of friends and family, especially two sisters.”

YAT will enchant audiences with the help of projections and an Imax screen generously donated by The Challenger Learning Center, but the magic of "Frozen" isn’t just Elsa’s ice powers.

“The story is about unconditional love, trying our best to do what’s best for those we love, and sometimes failing – and learning from that failure. Loving across differences in personality and perspective. Listening to your heart and intuition. And celebrating the ways in which we are unique, quirky, and maybe a bit of a ‘Fixer Upper,’” Snow said.

The cast features Mallory Greisl and Paige Bradley, sharing the powerful role of Elsa, as well as Sydney Sherry and Clairisse Winton as the impulsive, eager Anna.

Noble Sissle, whose great-grandfather wrote the Broadway musical "Shuffle Along," plays Kristoff, with Karsyn Simmons as his buddy Sven. Grantham Durham is the villain Hans, and Emmett Elliott and Crew Carlile share the loveable Olaf.

Children in the audience are encouraged to wear costumes.
