Jessica Burr

“But the real star is Jessica Burr at the helm of this atmospheric sleigh ride. Snow squalls engulf the audience. Two empty children huddle in a void, mourning their lost childhoods. A young woman, bathed in the sun, stands alone on a warm rooftop after a long journey home. All of these moments are perfectly and instantly conveyed to the audience. And each are a gift given by Burr.”

“An epic adventure performed in 80 minutes by 6 performers who seem like a cast of thousands.”

“The production is well crafted and will delight adults and children alike (the frequent laughter from the younger audience members proved that).”

“Director Jessica Burr gets the most from her cast.”

“In The Snow Queen, that maturation is woven into an allegory about loss, grief, and the frightening aspects of love, whether for a friend, family member, or sapiosexual princess. Indeed, the passage of time weighs lightly but perceptibly on the ending in a way that younger audience members may overlook but that will add a certain bittersweetness for those aware that love and loss are inevitably twinned.

“The Snow Queen is a lot of fun: energetic and funny, family friendly but not sentimental. ...the 7 ½ year-old who accompanied us summed up her own expert opinion with a firm thumbs up.”
