Iceland comes to Rochester with the opening of One Snowy Night performed by the Rochester Community and Technical College’s Theatre Department.
The show, written by Charles Way and based on an Icelandic folk tale, will be performed Oct. 27 and Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., Oct. 29 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 at 7 p.m.
The performances will be at RCTC’s Hill Theatre. Tickets are available now at Hill Theatre’s box office, or by calling 507-285-7200. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for kids 12 and under, seniors over 65, and non-RCTC students. RCTC students are free with a valid school ID. Credit cards are not accepted.
One Snowy Night takes audiences on a journey between Nonni, a young boy, and his father’s dog, Titla, as they traverse Iceland’s rough terrain. Their journey involves trolls, harsh wind, and an epic battle between ice and fire. “The theme of an Icelandic tale caught my eye,” director Jerry Casper said. “I went on a journey reading it and that is always a good sign.”
