Portland Stage presents its interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Snow Queen.”
It opens the day after Thanksgiving and runs through Christmas Eve, making this a holiday season event that audience members of any age will love.
With a visually sumptuous set, “The Snow Queen” is a tale of friendship and bravery with some magic mixed in.
Kai and Gerda are lifelong best friends, but things hit a huge snag when a shard of magic mirror lodges itself in Kai’s eye, rendering him unable to see anything good in the world. When he winds up spellbound by the Snow Queen, it’s up to Gerda to rescue her friend.
Tickets range from $25 to $65 and are available at portlandstage.org.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
