The Snow Queen Written by Matt Opatrny Directed by Jessica Burr Presented by Blessed Unrest at New Ohio Theatre, NYC December 31, 2017-January 14, 2018
It seems fitting that The Snow Queen opened against the backdrop of New York's most frigid New Year's Eve in decades. Luckily, it deserves a very warm reception. Developed with the aid of a residency at the New Victory Theater and the advice of a class of fourth-graders, The Snow Queen entertainingly adapts Hans Christian Andersen's 19th-century tale, to which it adheres fairly closely in its major events while refocusing a few of its key elements, including the symbolic subtext of its central characters' journeys. The final product is a delightful balance of comedy, adventure, and just a tinge of melancholy.
The protagonists are two children, Gerda (Nancy McArthur) and Kay (Todd Grace), the depth of whose friendship is represented by the way that even their clothing and movements echo one another.

I know the simple act of waiting for the new Nazisploitation movie Blitzkrieg: Escape From Stalag 69 has been hard on a lot of you (I get very emotional e-mails on an almost daily basis exemplifying just how hard) so I’m glad we can finally offer you some relief.

Commentary by Crocker along with assistant director Keith Maturro and lead actress Tatyana Kot “Nazis Over Nassau” behind-the-scenes doc Cast & crew Q&A from the film’s NYC run Test footage Schindler’s Lust trailer Deleted scenes Crocker’s early short “DeSade ‘88” So was the wait worth all the pain you’ve suffered? I certainly hope so.
