Don't Miss A Frosty Night World Premiere - Mark Brown

A World Premiere of My New Play A Frosty Night

It’s been a minute since I last posted anything on my site!! Jeez. My big news is I’m having another world premiere. The second in a year.

This times it’s my play A Frosty Night. It’s a commission from The Human Race Theatre (where This is Tom Jones! had its world premiere last year.) in Dayton, Ohio. The theatre has leaned into doing an adults only holiday show. They want people to come out and see something other than A Christmas Carol.

Emily Wells, the artistic director at The Human Race Theatre, approached me about writing a show for them. I pitched her a few ideas and we landed on A Frosty Night. It’s a comedy about a love triangle with Mrs. Claus, a certain Snowman, and that snowman’s human wife, Sharon. Love, life, and friendship are at risk in a comedy about infidelity, secrecy, lies and the choices we make.

I just finished a weeklong workshop of the show and I’m thrilled with the shape of the script.

The Cast and Director

The cast is going to be amazing. Christine Brunner, Mierka Girten, and Tim Lile will play Mrs. Claus, Sharon, and a certain snowman. Emily Wells, who also directed This Is Tom Jones! will be directing.
