The 2019 Mainstage Production:
Music by John Greer
Libretto by Jeremy James Taylor
A young girl, Gerda, embarks on a challenging journey to the far north to rescue her friend Kai from the clutches of the Snow Queen. Along the way, she meets a series of magical characters that variously help or hinder her quest.
The CCOC raised over $36K at our first annual Operathon at the Distillery District on November 28th.
