GARGARO THEATER

A SHORT MUSICAL ABOUT A LAND OF BIG DREAMS AND CURLY TOES!

Elflandia

Tales and Treats is a children's theater company run by students in the Teen Performance Intensive and Technical Theater & Design Programs at PMT Conservatory. Students act as the play directors, producers, actors, marketers, and designers.

Welcome to Elflandia, the land of Santa's elves. They are busy making toys and getting ready for Santa's yearly trip around the world to bring presents to all the deserving humans on the planet. Do human beings really exist? The reports the elves have heard are not very encouraging. Many are grumpy, stressed and loud. Discover what the elves learn about humans when Santa shows up with a real, living example!

Tales and Treats performances are always FREE for children and students! Suited for ages 2 - 10 and enjoyed by all. Show runtime is about 45 minutes.

ADMISSION:

  • Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain
  • Free admission for children and students
  • Adults pay what you can - tickets available at the door
