Pantochino Offers Sneak Peek of CHRISTMAS AT SANTA CLAUS STATION Today

Award-winning Pantochino Productions Inc. will offer a special glimpse at it's upcoming new musical, "Christmas at Santa Claus Station" today, December 6th as part of Downtown Milford's Lamplight Stroll event.

The Downtown Milford Business Association sponsors the nostalgic New England tradition offering holiday events, activities and shopper's specials throughout the Downtown district on Friday evening, December 5th and Saturday, December 6th. Pantochino's Santa Claus will kick off the Saturday festivities as he arrives via train and leads the crowd into the Center for the Arts, now decked and designated as "Santa Claus Station."

Santa and Mrs. Claus and members of the company will greet guests throughout Saturday afternoon and evening, and will offer a sneak preview of "Christmas at Santa Claus Station" at 6pm and again at 8pm.

"Christmas at Santa Claus Station" is a lively, fun-filled story about an enchanting train depot located halfway between the North Pole and the rest of the world. When Santa, Mrs. Claus, the elves and a stowaway girl from the city find themselves stranded at the station, a race against time begins to fix the out-of-order Holiday Express train and make it home before Christmas Eve. The story and lyrics are by Bert Bernardi with music by Justin Rugg.

Performances of "Christmas at Santa Claus Station" begin Friday, December 12 at 7:30pm and continue Saturday December 13th at 2 & 5:30pm, Sunday, December 15th at 2pm, Friday, December 19 at 7:30pm, Saturday December 20 at 2pm, Sunday, December 21 at 2pm and Sunday December 28 at 2pm.
