Experience a new holiday tradition.

Victory Gardens' completely non-denominational holiday-tradition-in-the-making returns for its fourth year. "The Snow Queen" is more of a prog-folk concept-album concert than a play. But it's by far the best prog-folk concept-album concert you'll see this decade. Hans Christian Andersen's tale of Gerda, a little girl on a quest to save her best friend from the titular Frigidaire, is told through dance, puppetry and above all, Michael Smith's gorgeous, joke-filled, heart-rending songs. The on-stage band is led by Smith himself, performing like some sly hybrid of Johnny Cash and Santa Claus.
