Lemon Bay Playhouse Presents “Dear Santa”

To welcome the holidays, Lemon Bay Playhouse has chosen “Dear Santa” to end the year. The play was written by Norm Foster and will be directed by Bob La Salle. The show will run from November 28 through December 16, 2018. In this Christmas oriented comedy, Santa Claus has his work cut out for him. Santa tries to fulfill a child’s special Christmas wish while his staff attempts to overcome a supply shortage at the North Pole. This is a laugh-filled holiday play innocent enough for the youngest boy or girl and entertaining enough for adults. Bring the children and grandchildren. (more…)
