The holiday tradition returns! Legacy Theatre’s annual production of A Christmas Carol offers additional holiday merriment to be had.

This season, theatregoers have the opportunity to meet Santa on Friday, December 8 prior to the 7 p.m. performance. Have your picture taken with the jolly fellow himself, and celebrate the spirit of the season! Please note that you must be a ticket holder for the performance in order to meet Santa.

Additionally, the Legacy Theatre will be running a mitten and glove drive to benefit the Community Dining Room in Branford. Patrons are invited to bring new, adult-size mittens and gloves during the run of A Christmas Carol to be donated to community members in need this holiday season.
