Described by the Charleston City Paper as the “Alt-Nutcracker”, Palmetto City Ballet’s production of “The Snow Queen” returns just in time to celebrate the holiday season! Based on the classic fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, “The Snow Queen” follows the beautiful young Gerda on her journey to rescue her true love Kai from the Snow Queen’s ice palace filled with mischievous goblins and dancing snowflakes. With the help of a friendly and energetic Blackbird, Gerda meets the Spring Sorceress and her garden of magical flowers, the Summer Princess and her court of palace maidens, and the Autumn Gypsy Queen’s band of thieves.

The highly acclaimed and engaging Christmas memoir of Dylan Thomas returns to Charleston! Broadway film and TV star Clarence Felder portrays the famous Welsh poet reminiscing about the experiences of an old-fashioned, “picture book Christmas,” from snow ball fights to singing carols in the village.
