The Picketwire Players and their elves have been busy preparing for performances on December 15, 16, & 17 at 7:30 pm.

ELF is the hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. Unaware that he is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities force him to face the truth. With Santa’s blessing, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father, Walter Hobbs, a cynical no-nonsense workaholic faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa. Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This modern-day Christmas classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner ELF. After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
