In Jack Frost: Snow Kidding!, veteran New York-based variety performer and comedian David Engel brings to life the world-famous, winter sprite and drums up holiday cheer in this engaging variety show that features slapstick antics, cartoon-like sound effects, bubble play, musical bell chimes, adept magic, and puppetry.

With audience participation, occasional flurries, including a minor indoor snowstorm, Jack Frost: Snow Kidding! will bring smiles and laughter to audiences of all ages.

Tickets are available through the LU Box Office. Attendees also will be able to enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and cookies following the show.

The third of seven shows in the 2023-24 Scheidegger touring series, Jack Frost: Snow Kidding! offers students, faculty, staff, and surrounding communities a chance to experience a production full of fun and holiday spirit.

“(We’re) so excited to have David Engel and his Jack Frost show here for the annual holiday kick-off!” Director of Theater Operations Kathleen Eads said. “Continuing our tradition of a family fun matinée before Lindenwood 's Winterfest for the community, it is a great combo to kick off the holiday season.

“David is a fantastic performer, and his antics are sure to delight all ages.”
