About The Show

Synopsis

NOTE: we are doing the play version, not the musical.

Grace is a bright young woman with a passion for astronomy, stuck working in her aunt’s toy store just before Christmas. Longing for adventure beyond the small world she knows, she wishes for something extraordinary, and gets far more than she imagined.

When the lights go out, Grace and her coworker Nikki find themselves in the magical Land of Forgotten Toys, where forgotten playthings and celestial wonders collide. Tasked with rescuing Santa from his wayward sister, Grace must lead an unlikely team to restore hope and rediscover the magic of belonging. Along the way, she learns that even the most “imperfect” toys (and people) can shine brightly in their own way.
