All Hands Productions presents Santa’s Missing Mail

Dec. 15 at 4 p.m., Dec. 16 at 10 a.m. and Dec. 17 at 1 p.m.

David Stephens’s All Hands Productions returns to the stage this holiday season with an encore presentation of Santa’s Missing Mail! Ominous Crook and his sidekick, Skellmutt, are two dastardly bad-guys who are out to stop Christmas by stealing Santa Claus's mail. Audiences will meet a marvelously zany cast of characters, including some panicked elves, a wise-cracking reindeer, a dim-witted superhero, and last but not least…Santa, himself!

Lee Bryan, “That Puppet Guy,” presents Trouble in Toyland

Dec. 21 at 4 p.m., Dec. 22 at 10 a.m. and Dec. 23 at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Oh no! It's Christmas Eve - but Santa’s workshop is in a shambles! The toys aren't finished, the elves are on strike, Santa has lost his laugh, and Rudolph has a runny nose! Will we have to cancel Christmas? Of course not! This show raises the bar on hilarious holiday hijinks that is fun for the whole family.

Holiday Double Feature!

Saturday, Dec. 17 at 10 a.m.

To close out the Winter Puppet Series, The Roswell Cultural Arts Center will host a special “Double Feature” that will include a brand new holiday production by Roswell Dance Starz followed by a farewell performance of Santa’s Missing Mail. The morning’s events will include dance and puppet show performances, refreshments, carolers, and a special visitor from the North Pole!

"A Winter Wonderland" presented by Roswell Dance Starz

The resident dance company of Roswell Performing Arts will dance their way through the holiday with a fresh take on traditional favorites.

Santa’s Missing Mail presented by All Hands Production will immediately follow A Winter Wonderland.

Also in December, the LIVE! in Roswell series offers music lovers a unique way to get in the holiday spirit with the ATL Collective performing The Beach Boys Christmas Album. This concert takes audience members, song by song, through the Beach Boys’ 1964 chart-topping Christmas album. It’s a nostalgic and rockin’ walk down memory lane!

The Beach Boys show is a one-night-only event that will take place at 8 p.m. Dec. 17. Individual tickets are $30, and senior, student, and military discounts are available by calling the box office at 770-594-6232 or in-person during business hours.

A festive pre-show cocktail hour provided by Top Jobs Staffing will be available in the lobby one hour prior to show time. Theater doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain.
