By Dryden Observer StaffWho is Santa Claus?
Where does he come from?
Why on earth does he climb down the chimney?
These questions and many more will be answered in The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus from UK-based Big Wooden Horse Theatre Company, presented by the Dryden Children’s Delight Series.
The show will take place at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18 at The Centre.
Based on the classic tale by L. Frank Baum, author of The Wizard of Oz, follow the early life of Santa Claus, from him being abandoned in the forest and adopted by the wood-nymphs, through to making the very first toys. Find out why we hang stockings and meet the original reindeer Glossie and Flossie as well as the chilly rogue Jack Frost. With original music and lots of audience participation this is a wonderful seasonal show from Artsdepot and Big Wooden Horse.
