Nov 20 - Dec 23

Everyone knows the man in the sleigh, but few know the heart of the North Pole. From the shadows of Santa’s busy workshop, the true executive of the arctic, Mrs. Jessica Claus, finally steps into the spotlight to share her incredible journey. Before the magic, before the reindeer, and long before she ever met a young toymaker named ‘Kris,’ Jessica was a woman of fire and ambition. Through an enchanting score and intimate storytelling, follow her evolution from a spirited pioneer to the beloved matriarch of the elves. This holiday season, join Mrs. Jessica Claus for an evening of song and story as she reflects on a life lived at the edge of the world. Move over, Nick—Jessica is home for the holidays.
