About the Show:
Take a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of radio, when imagination reigned supreme, and the mind became the stage. Indian Valley Theatre’s presentation of Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus – Radio Drama will delight audiences as they both SEE and HEAR this classic radio program, complete with authentic sound effects.
Inspired by the letter of an 8-year-old girl, Virginia O’Hanlon, asking whether Santa Claus was real, this heartwarming editorial was first published in The New York Sun on September 21, 1897.
