"An afternoon of theatre magic in which audience participation and brotherly love pave the way for another happy yuletide season!" raves LA Splash Magazine. It's the timeless Rudie-DeCarlo musical comedy ALL ABOUT SANTA. Where has Santa gone? And how can the inhabitants of the North Pole save the spirit of the holidays from the diabolical machinations of an all-too-commercial world? Complete with perky elves, zany inventors, toy soldiers and porcelain dolls, audiences boo the villain, cheer the heroine, and help to save the day in this delightful holiday event, perfect for the whole family!

" 'Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist.' (Francis P. Church, NY Sun editor, 1897) That's the message of Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie at Santa Monica Playhouse. They have a way of writing a play that speaks on many levels, even when it's as simple as a Santa story. All About Santa explores the commercialization of Christmas, over-spending, and the value of love and personal involvement. Laughter is nearly continuous and certainly is contagious!" exclaims The Outlook.

Written and helmed by Playhouse Co-Artistic Directors Chris DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie, All About Santa features Elodie Cammarata (Disneyland, Paris; Absolutely Halloween), Emery Erin (Oh Dad, Poor Dad; Finding Belle), Tiffany Haile (Carmen, Cinderella), Kelly Kristofferson (Little Women: The Musical, Finding Belle), Elena Rust (Annie Oakley and the Princess Cafe, Cinderella), and Sabrina Twyla (The Little Mermaid, A Midsummer Night's Dream). Words and music by E. Rudie, gorgeously detailed Victorian costumes by Ashley Hayes, and an outrageously delightful holiday set by James Cooper. Great for family gatherings, birthdays and holiday parties, too!

Saturdays at 2pm, Sundays at 12:30, December 1 through 16

$12.50 for kids 12 and under; $15.00 for adults.

"My daughter had a blast! It's amazing what they can accomplish in only one short week. Nothing like it anywhere else!" says Santa Monica Playhouse workshop mom Mary Ann Mayer. Wonderful! Whimsical! Wow! That's Winter Break Create-a-Play Theatre Camp at Santa Monica Playhouse. Youngsters experience the thrill of theatre over the holidays as they create and perform in a play in only four days! "I can't stop smiling cheek to cheek!" says student Maia A. after her first day. It's a spectacular adventure in imagination where kids 6 to 14 dive into all aspects of play production, music, movement, improvisation and performance, making friends, learning to express themselves and working with professional theatre artists to create and present a unique original mini-musical of their own, complete with costumes, make-up, lighting and sound! "A delight! I always tell other parents - you get more for your money (more fun, more education, more actual camp hours) at the SM Playhouse than any other camp available," advises Mary Redfield.

Wednesday through Saturday, December 26 - 29 or Thursday through Sunday, January 3-6, 9:00am to 3:00pm daily. Perfect for aspiring thespians or curious first-timers! A live performance for family and friends is the highlight of an inspiring four days of theatre activities. Maroon 5's Mickey Madden calls the Playhouse Acting Program "Great in so many ways!" Playhouse alumni include Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Deschanel, Jason Ritter, Jason Segel, former Newark Superintendent of Schools Cami Anderson and Gadi Dechter, Deputy Director of the Office of Policy and Strategic Planning at the U.S. Commerce Department.

Give your child the best holiday gift there is: the gift of fun plus self-discovery through theatre magic at Santa Monica Playhouse. What better way to end the year that by watching your kids perform live on stage in a play they helped create!

Two sessions to choose from: Wednesday through Saturday, December 26-29, 2018 or Thursday through Sunday, January 3-6, 2019. 9:00am to 3:00pm daily.
