"Is there a Santa Claus?" eight year old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote to the editor of the New York Sun newspaper in 1897. The newspaper's heartfelt reply, printed on the front page and written by a reporter struggling with the death of his wife, has been part of American Christmas folklore for more than 100 years. "The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see." Based on a true story.

Charity Readers Theatre, presented by Beijing Playhouse Drama Club, is all about acting. There are almost no costumes, no props, no sets, no lighting design, no sound design, no subtitles. It's all acting. And as it is readers theatre, actors will carry scripts to refer to. Charity Readers Theatre is an artistic process where actors rehearse for only one week. And at the end of that week, we do one performance only. It's a show in a week.

AGES: All Charity Readers Theatre shows are designed for families. This Christmas show is appropriate for ages 6 and up.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

AUDITION DATE: Sunday, December 13, 2015 at 10:30 am.

REHEARSAL PROCESS: Beijing Playhouse's main stage shows take more than two months to rehearse and perform for almost one month-a three month process. Charity Readers Theatre rehearses for only one week. And at the end of that week, we do one performance only. It's a show in a week. While the commitment is much less, one week as opposed to three months, that will be one extremely intense week. Actors who are cast will live and breathe this show for that week.

LOCATION: Charity Readers Theatre's performance, auditions and rehearsals for Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus are at 77 Theatre, located near Nanluoguxiang-a 15 minute walk from the subway station.
