About The Show

Olivia is a little kid with a BIG imagination, which sometimes makes her feel a bit... different. This is especially evident when her class is given a new assignment: to write their own holiday season tale together. Feeling left out, Olivia finds herself alone with the classroom’s Christmas tree, that is until (by way of some holiday magic) she is pulled inside and plopped into a land of walking, talking ornaments! Olivia’s new acquaintances must help her find her way home, and maybe—with a little holly jolly spirit—they can also show her the importance of friendship and being proud of who you are.

What is a “Participation Play?

Throughout the story, characters will invite the audience to be part of the adventure, both from their seats and by joining the actors on stage. Audience members will help the show’s heroes along their journey, as they can't make it from 'once upon a time' to 'happily ever after' without you!

This production is appropriate for all ages, but best suited for children ages 2 to 10.

Run time: 50 minutes.
