Don't miss the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus coming to Hartland Music Hall 12/6-8

Encore Youth Theater's production of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is an entertaining tale about where Santa Claus came from based on the book by L. Frank Baum—the man who created The Wonderful Wizard of OZ.  It promises to be a fascinating adventure for kids young and old!

It is the story of Saint Nicholas as told to him by Necile, the nymph who found Claus and raised him as her own in the world of Knooks, Faeries, Ryls and, yes, even the dreaded Awgwas.  “Beware the Awgwas,” Necile warns Claus, “they hide under beds to frighten human children!”  And so Claus decides he must leave the world of the Immortals and live among the humans, making toys to make children happy.  He gets help from Jack Frost, who shows him the Frost Gale, allowing Claus and his sleigh to fly, and from two runaway Knooks, Lem and Barlo, who want to hear the children laugh.  This delightful tale answers once and for all how Santa Claus made the first toy, why he climbs down chimneys and, most of all, how he learned to laugh that great “Ho, Ho, Ho!”

This amusing story will be brought to life by our talented cast: Cate Addor, Scott Bell, Karen Braun, Becca Darish, Mattison Digue, Liam Dunny, Jaclyn Ellis, Abby Ferris, Chiara Finelli, Sam Fritz, Lidia Koivuniemi, Lauren Kreeger, Annika Kreeger, Miya Mattucci, Kelli Neal, Katie Peterson, Noah Race, Maggie Ruby, Alanna Schiavone, Marlena Szczechowicz, Zoe Shettler, Katie Swims, Nicco Valente, and Hannah Wabel.
