Ye Merry Gentlemen
Written by G. Matthew Gaskell. Directed by Sam Smith.
It’s Christmas Eve, and this family is on a mission: to finally convince 50-year-old George that Santa Claus isn’t real. But George isn’t backing down—he has a few surprises of his own that might just change everything. This heartwarming new play is a joyful reminder that believing can bring a little magic into our lives… especially during the holidays. A decade after its first production, Ye Merry Gentlemen returns with some of the original script and original cast—now ten years older, and maybe a little wiser. Get ready to laugh, feel, and leave with your heart full.
Warning for grownups: in this holiday comedy, all characters but one question the existence of Santa Claus. Though the play ends in a spirit of wonder, we recommend caution for families with young believers.
