Reagle Music Theatre Collects Toys for Student Santa Program, 12/3-12/11

By: Carly Rosemore Nov. 15, 2011

Once again Reagle Music Theatre of Greater Boston will be collecting toys for the Waltham High School Student Santa Program at each performance of "Christmas Time" December 3 through 11. Patrons wishing to donate are asked to bring new, unwrapped toys suitable for boys and girls ages 6 months to 10 years. Students from Waltham High School will be present to collect donations in the Robinson Theatre lobby before each show.

The Student Santa program annually collects toys for more than 300 children living in Waltham. High school students collect, wrap, and distribute the toys, assigning them according to age and gender appropriateness. According to Stephen Goodwin, one of the faculty organizers of the program, a variety of affordable toys rather than one expensive item are desired so that each child may receive multiple gifts on Christmas day.

"We are thrilled that Reagle Music Theatre is joining in our effort again this year to provide toys for economically challenged families," says Goodwin. "Each year nearly 10,000 people attend ‘Christmas Time.' If just one percent of those audience members bring toys, that's another 100 children who can share in the joy of the season."

This year the Student Santa program will be collecting toys beginning the weekend after Thanksgiving through December 21. Donations may also be dropped off at the Main Office of Waltham High School during school hours.

"Christmas Time" performs Saturdays, December 3 and 10, and Sunday, December 4, at 1 and 5 p.m.; Friday, December 9, at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, December 11 at 1:00 p.m. The Robinson Theatre is located at 617 Lexington Street, Waltham.

Tickets are available in person at the Reagle Music Theatre Box Office, by calling 781-891-5600, or online at www.reaglemusictheatre.org. Box Office hours are Mondays through Fridays 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and performance days 9 a.m. to curtain.
