Santa to Visit Ocean State Theatre this Weekend

Ocean State Theatre Company (OSTC), currently celebrating its fifth season in its comfortable stadium-style theatre in Warwick, is thrilled to host a visit with Santa Claus on Sunday, December 18 from 3:00 - 4:30 pm.

That's right, Santa Claus is coming to town - Warwick to be specific! Children and adults of all ages are invited to stop in for complimentary cookies, hot chocolate and coffee, and to have their picture taken with Santa!

The event is free, however Ocean State Theatre Company will be accepting food donations to benefit the Rhode Island Community Food Bank, which will be bringing their annual fundraiser, Sing Away Hunger, to the theatre on February 4, 2017. Those bringing a food donation on Sunday, December 18, will be rewarded with a special coupon from Ocean State Theatre Company to use for a future production.

Those participating in the food drive are encouraged to bring healthy, nutritious food that is in good condition and "in date." (Foods six months past their expiration cannot be accepted.) Boxed cereals and baby formula are welcome if unopened and within date code, however homemade products and glass jars of baby food cannot be accepted. Suggested donations include peanut butter, cans of tuna fish, canned and dried beans, canned soups and stews, canned fruits and vegetables, breakfast cereals, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, boxed macaroni and cheese, granola bars, tomato sauce and extra virgin olive oil.

For more holiday fun, families are invited to attend one of OSTC's performances of White Christmas before or after their visit with Santa. (See ticket info below.) Performances on Sunday, December 18 are scheduled for 12:00 noon and 5:00 pm.

Santa Claus will be at Ocean State Theatre on Sunday, December 18 from 3:00 - 4:30 pm. The theatre is located at 1245 Jefferson Boulevard, Warwick, RI. Gift certificates and tickets for Irving Berlin's White Christmas, as well as all productions being presented as part of Ocean State Theatre Company's 2016-17 Season are on sale at the box office Monday through Friday from 12 noon - 6:00 pm, Saturdays from 12 noon - 4:00 pm, and up until curtain on performance days.
