minimal costumes and set.

This production will be performed upstairs at Dare Arts, with whom Theatre of

Hutchison states, “It’s been great working with both adults and children for this radio
show. Also, it’s been great to build our community. Most of the actors in this production
are new to us, including a lot of the kids from our summer camps with Stacey Maxwell.
We even have families acting alongside one another, which is just cool!” “Yes, Virginia,
There is a Santa Claus” features a wide array of actors both young and not so young
and is sure to bring the joy to kick off the holiday season. “It’s just been wonderful to feel
like we can include everyone and give them a place to shine, especially the kids,” says
Hutchison.
