"This is a tale that we want to believe in, that creates a world we seem to desperately desire, free of the blatant commercialism that surrounds us, where love and decency and generosity of spirit are their own rewards. What we want Christmas to be all about, really." So writes the *Santa Cruz
Sentinel* of this most heartwarming holiday story. By chance, Kris Kringle, an old man in a retirement home, gets a job working as Santa for Macy's. Kris unleashes waves of good will with Macy's customers and the commercial world of New York City by referring parents to other stores to find exactly the toy their child has asked for. Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy's vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. Especially at stake is one little girl's belief in Santa. In a dramatic decision, the court confirms Kris as the true Santa, allowing Susan and countless other children to experience the joy of childhood fantasy.

Heroes
Written by Gerald Sibleyras. English translation by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Donald Neal

This play runs for one weekend only.

Meet three delightful curmudgeons, French World War I veterans who are residents in an old soldiers' home in rural France. They hate the home, the Sisters who run the home, and most of the other inmates. About the only ones they can tolerate are each other, and that not always. So they plan their escape, with three significant obstacles - where to go, how to get there, and who is to be in charge.

I Never Sang for my Father
by Robert Anderson
Directed by Donald Neal
Produced by Maureen Rogers

This drama is the story of a widower, with an elderly mother whom he loves and an eighty-year-old father, who is a mean, unloving and ungenerous man. When the mother dies, Gene is faced with the responsibility of having the father on his hands just at a time when he wants to remarry and move to California. Is it possible for him to "sing" for his father - to understand and be understood, to give the love he so wants to give?
