Arts Council Brings Disney Frozen Jr. to Its Stage for Christmas

Some of the cast members of the HCAC’s upcoming production of Disney Frozen Jr.

It has been more than 10 years since Frozen was first released encouraging people to “Let It Go”. Since that time, fans of the Disney production have done just the opposite and continue to embrace the Disney story’s favorite sisters, Anna and Elsa. The Hardeman County Arts Council (HCAC) will bring the beloved production to its stage with Disney Frozen Jr., which will be presented Friday through Sunday, December 13 – 15, 2024.

Disney Frozen Jr. has a cast of children to late teens. The HCAC often includes children productions in its seasons giving area youth an opportunity to display their acting and singing talent on the stage. Abigail Richards, who played Fiona in the HCAC production of Shrek The Musical JR., has been cast as Elsa and Rebekah Stanifer, who is making her HCAC stage debut, has been cast as Anna. Both girls have appeared in numerous productions with the Star, Inc, theatre company in Somerville. Their younger counterparts are being played by Jovie Wade (also Hidden Folk), Young Elsa, and Adeline Estes (also Snow Chorus and Summer Chorus), Young Anna.

Other cast members include:

Malayna Alexander (Handmaiden, Townsperson 2, and Oaken Family 4)
