Theatregoers have the opportunity to meet Santa on Saturday, December 2 following the 2pm performance, and on Friday, December 8 prior to the 7pm performance. Have your picture taken with the jolly fellow himself, and celebrate the spirit of the season! Please note that you must be a ticket holder for those performances in order to meet Santa.
