The Snow Maiden presented by Sonoma Conservatory of Dance
2025-12-13 13:00 - 15:00 | Sebastiani Theatre, 476 First Street East, Sonoma, CA
There is a legend that says if you build a beautiful snow girl and wish with all your heart, the Snow Queen might bring her to life. The Snow Maiden can laugh, dance, and dream like any living young woman… but there is one rule she must never break: she must never fall in love. For if she does, her heart will warm, and she will melt away, returning forever to the Land of Snow.
In a quiet village blanketed by snow, there lives a woman whose heart aches for the child she never had. Every winter, she shapes a snow maiden, hoping her wish will be answered — and this year, it is!
The Snow Maiden meets Lel, a brave and handsome shepherd, and falls in love. As legend foretold, her heart warms and she begins to melt, returning to the Land of Snow — but Lel embarks on a daring journey across magical lands, facing wonders and perils to find her!
Come see this enchanting tale unfold and find out what happens in The Snow Maiden, brought to life by Sonoma Conservatory of Dance.
This performance celebrates artistry, passion, and the joy of dance — made possible by your support of SCD, a nonprofit dance studio dedicated to nurturing the creative spirit of our community through dance.

Despite warnings from his parents and teachers of “You’ll shoot your eye out,” Ralphie remains undeterred, concocting imaginative schemes to make his Christmas wish come true.
With a delightful score by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, this musical adaptation brings all the iconic moments from the classic film to the stage, including the infamous leg lamp, pink bunny pajamas, and a triple-dog-dare that goes awry.
