Show Synopsis: In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.

Performers will be required to pay a production fee of $410. Limited need-based scholarships are available.
Ignite Theatre Company Casting Policy
Ignite Theatre Company is committed to consistently casting in a gender- and race-blind manner, ensuring that performers are selected based on talent, skill, and suitability for the role, rather than identity. We do not pre-cast any roles, and no priority is given to existing company members over new auditioners. Our storytelling is thoughtfully adapted to highlight the strengths of the actors cast while remaining fully compliant with the specifications of the licensing agreements.
To ensure the safety and comfort of our performers, we traditionally employ a professional intimacy coordinator for any material that involves romantic, parental, or other intimate interactions. This role supports our students, their families, and our creative team in facilitating meaningful, age-appropriate conversations about consent, boundaries, and healthy collaboration.
Ignite Theatre Company is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering environment where all performers can thrive artistically while respecting the integrity of the story being told.
