Additional Notes
We offered our company members the opportunity to read one of their favorite folk takes and Marsha Rehns, whom many of you may recall is the narrator in Quorum, was the first to come back with a suggestion: “The Snow Queen,” by Hans Christian Andersen.
Many of you may know that Disney’s Frozen is based on this fairy tale, but I think you’ll find this worth a listen, not only from the verve Marsha brings in the telling, but because the story is so very different. One thread that remains, however, is the connection and love between the two siblings.
