This Fall, kids and tweens in our Mainstage and Mini companies will combine once again for a true community production! ​

​

It's an especially long, cold winter in New York City, with no holiday spirit to be found. But Christmas-loving Virginia O'Hanlon sets out on a mission to change that and writes a letter to the New York Sun, asking for the truth about Santa. At first, the grouchy editor Francis Church throws the letter away, but a series of magical events soon lead him to publish an answer that inspires the whole community-- and generations to come. This heartwarming tale based on the true story features your favorite holiday music and loveable characters for all performers, promising an unforgettable experience!

 

Actors will spend time in peer groups where they'll bond with other students their age while still working with and learning from those older and younger than them, though all material and activities will be kept age-appropriate. Performers will spend rehearsal time singing classic holiday songs, learning dances, and exploring character study as they develop their show. They will learn skills and techniques to carry with them in any future path they choose, all while making lifelong friends and participating in the magic of live theatre. This class leads up to a weekend of performances in a real theatre, complete with simple costumes, props, and sets!
