Have you ever wondered just where Santa Claus came from? L. Frank Baum knew. The same man who created The Wonderful Wizard of Oz lets us in on his secret: the story of Saint Nicholas as told to him by Necile, the nymph who found Claus and raised him as her own in the world of Knooks, Faeries, Ryls and, yes, even the dreaded Awgwas. “Beware the Awgwas,” Necile warns Claus. “they hide under beds to frighten human children!” And so Claus decides he must leave the world of the Immortals and live among the humans, making toys to make children happy. He gets help from Jack Frost, who shows him the Frost Gale, allowing Claus and his sleigh to fly, and from two runaway Knooks, Lem and Barlo, who want to hear the children laugh. This delightful tale answers once and for all how Santa Claus made the first toy, why he climbs down chimneys and, most of all, how he learned to laugh that great “Ho, ho, ho.”

KAYKOFriday, December 13, 2024 at 7:30PMPresented by the Brown Grand Opera House, Inc.
KAYKO and special guests live at the Brown Grand Opera House, for ONE night only! KAYKO, Sam Kelly-Cohen, was the music director for LOVEWELL 2023 at the Brown Grand and is coming BACK to give a live concert on Friday, December 13, 2024 following his journey to the Top 10 on Season 22 of American Idol earlier this year.
KAYKO is an alternative pop artist with influences from pop punk, synth pop, and musical theatre. Eyed by Katy Perry for his star quality, he accidentally found his way into the Top 10 on Season 22 of American Idol where he wowed America with his original songs. A combination of interesting melodies, introspective lyrics, and an energizing stage presence creates “happy songs with sad words” that leaves listeners dancing and crying at the same time.
