Brunswick Little Theatre (BLT) celebrates the 2026 holiday season with the poignant classic Yes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus, running from December 3–20.

Staged as a live 1940s broadcast from a radio station, this heartwarming tale celebrates the faith, love and magic of the holiday season. The story is set in 1897, and eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon is devastated when her friends tell her that Santa Claus is just a make-believe story. So, she writes a letter to her local newspaper, The New York Sun, asking the classic question, “Is there a Santa Claus?”

Virginia’s letter ends up on the desk of veteran news editor Francis Church, recently bereaved after the death of his wife. Church’s famous, timeless response assures Virginia that Santa:

“exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist… Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus!”

Based on a true story, this charming holiday production will delight audiences of all ages. “This play captures the essence of the holidays,” says director Dan Barth. “It blends the creativity of a live show with the nostalgia and enchanting spirit of Christmas.”
