The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus - Encore Youth Theater Play
Tickets are $6/each
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!”
