Oct 17 @ 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

Douglas Anderson School of the Arts Theatre Department presents their first show of the season with East of the Sun and West of the Moon, a Norwegian fairy tale based on the
original story of the same name by Peter Christian Asbjornsen and Jorgen Engebretsen
Moe. East of the Sun and West of the Moon is a tale of a poor girl who must make a
perilous journey to break the spell placed upon her beloved, a prince who has been
transformed into a polar bear. To bring this story to life, Strangemen Theatre (Company)
has been brought to DASOTA as an Artist-in-residence. The Company worked with the
DASOTA students to create an original take of the story complete with puppets, masks
and movement.

Tickets for all shows can be purchased prior to each show through the DASOTA
Theatre Boosters website or at the DASOTA Theatre Box Office one hour before show
begins, if tickets are still available. For more information about the theatre season and
