JACK FROST SAVES CHRISTMAS

Now playing at Queensborough Performing Arts Center, *Jack Frost Saves Christmas* reframes the familiar winter sprite as an active force in a holiday crisis. The show moves through seasonal scenes and moral choices, using cold and thaw as its central metaphor. In New York, where holiday performance is a yearly civic ritual, its value is less in novelty than in how it treats community obligation as the real plot engine. If it has a thesis, it is that tradition survives only when someone does the work.
