When Hans Christian Andersen wrote “The Snow Queen” in 1844, the Danish author could not have imagined how his fairytale would come to life in Dalton, Georgia in this century.

This Thursday through Sunday, Creative Arts Guild and Ballet Dalton present this year’s production of “The Snow Queen” - a full-length ballet that journeys through the seasons - at the Dalton High School Theatre.

Amanda Brown is executive director of Creative Arts Guild.

Jessie Southerland is the Guild’s director of dance and production director.
