We Know Now Snowmen Exist by Michael Spencer

It's our final play of season 4! And in a bid to keep it seasonal, we're covering WE KNOW NOW SNOWMEN EXIST, a play with buckets of snow AND a snowman....(and a horror edge inspired by a creepy urban myth, but that's okay right?)A play that tries to answer the age old question of just what is a horseradish; and why would a group of young women feel the need to cut their way out of a tent when the exit is right there? Is it because just maybe...snowmen exist?
