Christopher, just 15 years old, uses his extraordinary brain to solve the mystery of his neighbor’s dog’s death. This production comes to life on stage as Christopher uses his unique gifts to work through his distrust of strangers and fear of the unknown in this journey. For ages 11 and up.

Elf the Musical
Book adapted by Bob Martin and Thomas Meehan, lyrics by Chad Beguelin, music by Matthew Sklar, based on the New Line Cinema film by David Berenbaum, directed by Scott Spence, musical direction by Larry Goodpaster and choreography by Martín Céspedes. Produced by special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious big-elf-in-a-small-world comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity in a holiday-bedazzled New York City. Featuring songs written by the creator of Disney’s Aladdin on Broadway and a book by the writer of Annie, The Producers, and Hairspray, this feels and sounds like a sweet holiday treat for all ages (Maple syrup not included).
