Our 2026 production:
Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. 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 reality that his father is on the naughty list and that 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.

Latest & Greatest
"The Laramie Project" leaves audience members in awe!
Directors Meggin Dail and Jeff Crowell-Gregoire brought a powerful story to the Scenic Theater, and the production moved audience members to laughter, tears, and outbursts of astonishment. The directors received thanks for bringing such a meaningful show to the Scenic stage, and the production was praised for its use of seamless blocking. The ten actors succeeded in bringing upwards of 60 different characters to life, each with separate accents and personalities, helped along by the costuming talents of Amy Mitchell. We are truly sad to see the curtain close on this production, and we promise to never forget the life and the tragedy of Matthew Shepard.
