Story Theater Company Presents Elf The Musical JR.

Presenting the modern-day holiday classic, Elf The Musical JR., written by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin with music by Matthew Sklar and lyrics by Chad Beguelin:

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human, until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. 

This STC production is directed by Erica Walling, with musical direction by Cynthia Marten.
