Everything\, absolutely everything\, buried under the snow\, Obliterated by a white-out.\nThe north wind freezes time as it flows over us.\nWould it be a catastrophe?\nOr a chance to start over\,\nTo fix our mistakes?\nA new blank page\nIn the shape of a blizzard. \nAbout the preshow Curtain Warmer\nTicketholders are invited to join us at 6:10 PM in the Orpheum Theater lobby for a preshow activity.
