Williamston Theatre kicks off the holidays with the World Premiere of A Lansing Christmas Adventure by Robert Hawlmark. Performances begin Thursday, November 19 and run through Sunday, December 27. Tickets are now on sale.
The beloved Christmas saga continues! A Lansing Christmas Adventure brings another original Hawlmark production to the Williamston Theatre stage, as the long-awaited sequel to A Very Williamston Christmas. On Christmas Eve, little Danny receives troubling information about Santa Claus — news that shakes his belief in the magic of the season entirely. Determined to uncover the truth, he embarks on a quest across familiar Lansing pit stops on a snowy night, encountering a cast of new friends along the way.
As the snowstorm intensifies and the clock ticks closer to Christmas morning, Danny's journey becomes something more: a search for hope, magic, and what it really means to believe.
A Lansing Christmas Adventure features Connor Allston (The One Good Things or 'Are Ya Patrick Swayze'), Jamie Elvey (Dial M for Murder), Patrick Loos (The 39 Steps, Dial M for Murder) and Emily Sutton-Smith (The 39 Steps, Incident at Our Lady of Perpetual Help).

Schweitzer (The 39 Steps, A Sherlock Carol), Costume Design by Karen Kangas-Preston (The One Good Thing or 'Are Ya Patrick Swayze?', A Sherlock Carol), Sound Design by Sonja Marquis (A Very Williamston Christmas 2024 & 2022), Prop Design and Scenic Dressing by Michelle Raymond (The One Good Thing or 'Are Ya Patrick Swayze?', The 39 Steps) and Projections and Media Design by Krista Pennington.
