Story Time with Santa and Mrs. Claus
More then just a visit from Santa, this is a complete
half-hour entertaining show with holiday magic, storytelling, humor, and
audience participation. Bruce and Carole Johnson impersonate the famous
holiday couple. This is an excellent program for young children who might
be uncertain around Santa because they get to interact with him from a distance
so they become used to them before they come close. The humor and magic
appeals to the parents and grandparents so it is great for multigenerational audiences.
This show promotes reading, and is ideal for libraries. The show can be
followed by lap visits with Santa. Bring your own camera for the excellent
photo opportunities.
