“FINDING MRS. CLAUS” tells the story of Mrs. Claus, who leaves the North Pole three weeks before Christmas, searching for a deeper sense of purpose beyond being Santa’s biggest supporter. She arrives in New York City and helps a middle school produce their holiday musical, discovering her talent for teaching and mentoring along the way. As Christmas Eve nears, Mrs. Claus realizes that Santa needs her back at the North Pole. Before returning, she successfully guides the students and gains a newfound sense of fulfillment. Upon returning to the North Pole, she and Santa have a meaningful conversation about the importance of being equal partners in all aspects of their work.
Performances of FINDING MRS. CLAUS will be December 7 at 3:00 & 7:00 pm and December 8 at 3:00 pm at the Bronxville School Auditorium and on December 14 at 3:00 pm at Greenwich Country Day School Debbie Kerrick Theatre. Tickets will be available at concordiaconservatory.org
Since 1999, the Conservatory’s annual tuition-free holiday musical has been a beloved community institution and an effective theatre arts outreach program, supported by generous donors who have given over $950,000. It provides an opportunity for area youth to participate, without regard to family financial situation and disability. In its 25-year history, the musical has been seen by 18,000 enthusiastic audience members and performed by 1,600 performers.
In celebration of this momentous 25th anniversary production, we will be securing funds for the Concordia Conservatory Holiday Musical Endowment Fund. Our goal is to raise $300,000. Every gift of every size matters, and is appreciated, to help ensure that the community holiday musical will continue for generations to come. To support, CLICK HERE
