Let the sun shine on!

The 2019-2020 Season kicked off this weekend with five FANTASTIC performances of our Eighth-Grade-and-Under production of Disney’s Frozen JR! It was a delight to share this story with an audience, especially those of you that came dressed as your favorite character from the movie.

Frozen JR. is based on the 2018 Broadway musical, and brings Elsa, Anna, and the magical land of Arendelle to life, onstage. A story of true love and acceptance between sisters, Frozen JR. expands upon the emotional relationship and journey between Princesses Anna and Elsa. When faced with danger, the two discover their hidden potential and the powerful bond of sisterhood.

Featuring a cast and crew of almost 90 kids, Frozen JR. was directed by Jill Vermeulen, assistant directed by Sophie Sam, co-choreographed by Emily Burbey and Gracie Fries, music directed by Sara Parks, and stage managed by Aubrey Wolck.

We also received a wonderful review written by Lilith Kontos, published in The Mining Journal!

With Frozen 2 just released, there’s no better time to relive the journey of the original film, and Frozen, Jr. is the perfect way to do that. SAYT’s production breathes new life into the popular story, and audiences will be able to see how much joy and love went into this production. Ultimately, that’s what Frozen is all about – love.

A huge thank you goes out to our cast and crew, production team, and volunteers for their time, talent, and dedication to this production. It would not have been possible without you!
