Theatre West presents ‘Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus’

Posted

Theatre West announces its upcoming holiday production of “Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus,” by Jamie Gorski, presented in the format of a radio play and directed by Tia Wooley.

Performances are 7 p.m. Nov. 24 and 25 and 2 p.m. Nov. 26 at the Stardust Theatre. 14401 N. R.H. Johnson Blvd.

“Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus” is a story that captures the essence of the holiday spirit. It tells the tale of Virginia O’Hanlon, a young girl who writes a letter to the New York Sun newspaper in 1897, questioning the existence of Santa Claus. The newspaper’s response, penned by Francis P. Church, has since become one of the most famous editorials in journalism history.

In the spirit of giving, Theatre West is partnering with Valley View Community Food Bank to host a food drive during the run of the show. All patrons are invited to bring non-perishable food items to donate when attending the performances.

Admission to the radio play is $12. A portion of ticket sales will be used for a monetary donation to Valley View Community Food Bank.

For more information about the play, the food drive and how to purchase tickets, visit theatrewestscw.com or contact Jamie Bubon at outreach@theatrewestscw.com.
