The Barter Players of Abingdon will present “Frosty, a Musical Adventure” next Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Lancaster Elementary School Theater in Kilmarnock.
The troupe will bring the beloved Christmas song “Frosty the Snowman” to life for Lancaster students from PreK through seventh grade. In two separate shows (9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.), the six-member acting troupe will perform “Frosty, a Musical Adventure,” taking students for a heart-warming ride through snowy New York City, complete with dramatic chases through Central Park and a snowman dancing with a police officer.

The play was written by Catherine Bush, the Barter Theatre’s playwright-in-residence, and singer/songwriter Dax Dupuy and was first produced in 2014.
