Alias Santa Claus, the heart-warming Rudie-DeCarlo holiday musical comedy about the Matthews family and Nick, a jolly, bearded stranger who shows up for a visit one cold and blustery December eve in the late 1800's. Together, Nick and the little pioneer family learn some special lessons about the true meaning of friendship, family, the spirit of giving and the joy earned from kindness to strangers. Alias Santa Claus, which had its world premiere at Santa Monica Playhouse in 1977 and still features three of the original cast members, includes delightful tunes such as It's Not What You Have, But What You Do With What You Do Have and Leave A Light In The Window For Santa.

A special Winter Break weekday performance Monday, December 22 at 2:00 PM includes face painting and candy canes.
