Holiday Puppet Shows at the Library
The North Charleston Cultural Arts Department is proud to sponsor two showings of Columbia Marionette Theatre’s puppet production of “Santa’s Christmas Party” in collaboration with Charleston County Public Library.
Santa’s head elf, Spangler, decides to throw Santa a rockin’ holiday surprise party in celebration of the season! Oh, no! Spangler is in for his own surprise when he discovers that Santa is on vacation and is nowhere to be found! Spangler has a number of exciting performances lined up for Santa’s party… but will Santa make it back in time to enjoy his own festivities? With dancing snowmen, figure skating, and Jack Frost’s own puppet show within-a-puppet-show, this fun-filled performance will put audiences of all ages in the holiday spirit!
