Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) presents Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus, December 1 – December 9, 2023. Two compelling stories come together in this heartwarming play inspired by the famous editorial Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. On Christmas Eve, in New York City, eight-year-old Virginia is left pondering whether or not Santa really exists after a series of unhappy events. Meanwhile, a young newspaper editor also struggles against tough holiday times as he is faced with losing his job if he can’t find his writer’s voice by morning. Even though they don’t know each other, the spirit of Christmas is about to bring these people together, creating in the process an unforgettable and cherished part of classic Christmas folklore.
Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus will be performed by ECTC’s talented teen Junior Company players and staged in ECTC’s main space located on the second floor of 560 Grand Boulevard in Grand Boulevard Town Center in Miramar Beach. The Junior Company high school troupe is part of ECTC’s Rising Stars educational program.
