About

The Santa Claus Show – 2019
by TIM BRAY
songs by CHRISTINE WHITE

A magical Christmas story for the whole family. Santa helps reveal the pleasure of giving.

Kelly and Alana are best friends and decide to write to Santa Claus. But Kelly sends the longest list of things that a child wants for Christmas that Santa has ever seen. Santa flies Kelly to the North Pole so she can learn for herself the true meaning of Christmas.

Audio Described Performance and Touch Tour: Tuesday 3rd December and Saturday 14th December – Touch Tour at 12 pm, show starts at 1 pm. (65 minutes long).

Sensory Relaxed Performance – 14 December at 1 pm
A sensory relaxed performance creates a less formal, supportive atmosphere in the theatre. This performance is for anyone, and it may be an especially good fit for those with sensory, movement, communication, and learning needs. The show softens some technical elements and offers supplementary materials to enable neurodiverse children and their family to enjoy a comfortable and inclusive theatre experience. Find Out More

Is your child a budding actor, director, stage manager, or theatre technician?

Children are invited into the daily life of the Tim Bray Productions’ theatre company. Our tutors, cast and crew guide them in a hands-on adventure inside the theatre itself, including a ticket to the 10.30am performance of the current show. Have fun learning basic stagecraft through theatre games, quizzing actors and stage crew about the performance they have just seen, learning about the role of lighting and sound, and touring backstage with the stage manager who reveals the unseen work that makes a show successful.

Dates for 2019 to be confirmed
