The Snowy Day

February 8–16, 2025

MUSIC BY JOEL THOMPSON
LYRICS BY ANDREA DAVIS PINKNEY

In the fresh snow, every footstep is marked with magic. A young boy wakes to find that the first snow of winter has fallen overnight– an exciting day of adventure awaits. Peter delights in making footprints in the snow and meeting new friends, before returning home to the cozy embrace of Mama and Daddy. Based on the Caldecott Medal-winning book by Ezra Jack Keats, Joel Thompson and Andrea Davis Pinkney’s The Snowy Day brings centerstage the fleeting but indelible magic of childhood. 

Sung in English with English captions above the stage.
