Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus. Book by Karen Rolston, Music & Lyrics by Kathie McMahon
Two compelling stories come together in this heartwarming play inspired by the famous editorial by Francis P. Church in Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus.
On Christmas Eve 1897, in New York City, eight-year-old Virginia is left pondering whether Santa really exists after a series of unhappy events. Meanwhile, a young newspaper editor also struggles against tough holiday times as he is faced with losing his job if he can’t find his writer’s voice by morning. Even though they don’t know each other, the spirit of Christmas is about to bring these people together, creating in the process an unforgettable and cherished part of classic Christmas folklore.
A great holiday show
the entire family will enjoy!
