Overview

This comic music-theatre contraption will have it all — including a trio of musical lumberjacks, a bouncing ice ball, and eight indie theatre superstars! When the logging town of Oakpine Falls falls victim to a polar vortex that quarantines the populace and freezes her mother in a ball of ice, young Betty Kensack sets out on a quest to bring the legendary Paul Bunyan out of retirement. Heartwarming hilarity ensues as Betty, Babe the Blue Ox, and a crew of rowdy lumberjacks joins Minnesota's famous folk hero on a quest to melt the ice and bring back the sun.
