CURRENT & UPCOMING
Christmas Play & Christmas Display
Last year’s popular Christmas play, NICHOLAS: The Origin of Father Christmas, returns this season with a new scene and additional singing! This original holiday play by Jeremy Stanbary met with many sold-out audiences and an extended run during the world premiere last December.
New This Season!
Your ticket purchase includes access to our 4,000 SF walk-through Christmas display, featuring our growing St. Nicholas collection, Christmas village collection, Nativity collection, and Snowman collection along with an abundance of festive lights, and much more! Arrive early for the best viewing. The Christmas display will be open up to 60-minutes before showtime, as well as during intermission and up to 30-minutes after the show.
