Following each performance there will be photo opportunities with various characters from the play for $10, photos will be available that night for pick up.
“This play is a great way to give your holidays a lift,” said Elaine Hansen, director and choreographer of “Santa’s Workshop” and assistant professor at UVSC. “This is a great family event with energetic dancing, fabulous costumes and a wonderful set.”
