Elf, The Musical at Weathervane Playhouse, Akron

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Here, the would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas! Come and join us during the holiday season for our FREE preshow event before every Thursday performance! Every kid will enjoy cheery crafts and festive atmosphere throughout the lobby and use their crafts to help decorate our Weathervane windows and trees while also enjoying Santa's favorite treat, cookies and on Thursday the 15th we will have a special visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus! This event is open to all families with the purchase of an "Elf" ticket. This event is sure to even warm the heart of the Grinch!
