The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus at Richard Goad Theatre

Sure, you know how Santa Claus operates. You know he and his elves make toys for all the good boys and girls. You know he delivers them all in one night. But have you ever wondered just how all that came to be? In The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, the origin of Father Christmas is explained by L. Frank Baum, the author behind The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The story begins with magical creatures discovering an abandoned human baby in the forest, and that child eventually grows up to be jolly old Saint Nick. Full of fairies and wood nymphs, Baum's tale is a delight for children young and old, and now you can experience it onstage in a new adaptation from Long Beach Shakespeare Company at Richard Goad Theatre.
