THE SNOW BEAST
A family show for ages 6+ with storytelling, original music & interactive science experiments.
In the snowy town of Seldomberg test tubes bubble, experiments explode and new inventions whirr at the annual science fair. With nothing but her mother’s old research book, her owl assistant Maude and her sense of adventure to help her, Faina sets off on an action packed exploration, encountering extraordinary spectacles and mountainous obstacles as they battle through the wild, wintry wilderness in search of the truth.
Does The Snow Beast really exist? Can we separate stories from fact, or do they whirl together like snowflakes in a blizzard?
This family show is a captivating collision of storytelling, an original score and live science experiments that will inspire young audiences to engage with the beauty of the unknown and the magic of the everyday.
