**Seattle Children's Theatre Marks 50 Years with Style and Storytelling**

Seattle Children's Theatre (SCT), a cornerstone of performance arts for young audiences in the Pacific Northwest, is celebrating 50 years of bringing stories to life. To mark the occasion, SCT recently unveiled renovations to its space and showcased its latest production, *The Snow Queen*.

In a feature segment on Fox13, hosts Carly Henderson and Bender Cunningham sat down with key contributors to discuss the theatre’s journey and its plans for the future. Adele Lim, who plays Gerda in *The Snow Queen*, joined Deputy Managing Director Cessalee Smith-Stovall for a behind-the-scenes look into the creative process of staging this classic tale. Together, they shared insights about the imaginative direction of the production and the enduring vision SCT maintains to serve its audience.

Fashion played a dazzling role in the milestone celebration as well. Tony Vincente, President and Founder of Rossario George, collaborated with the theatre, delivering striking costume designs and ensembles fit for the stage and beyond. His work highlighted how theatrical storytelling and design can come together to create something truly magical.
