Theater Works' Puppet Works is set to present SAVING SANTA, written by Jeremiah Clay Neal, for a second year running. It's Christmas Eve and when the possibility of the Secret existence of Santa is threatened to be exposed by some meddling kids it's up to a group of clever talking presents to save the day. This fun holiday adventure is full of comic hijinx involving quirky elves, a cookie loving Santa, a Dad who loves Christmas, and other adorable characters. An amusing family show that tries to prove the age old question, "Is Santa really real?" Come for the show and stay for the "Make-n-Take" workshop. This interactive workshop is only $4 / participant. Tickets for the puppet show are only $6 / person. SAVING SANTA opens this Saturday, December 3rd and runs until December 24th on the Gyder Stage.
