Cast and crew of Stratford on Stage's Where is Santa? have had an absolute blast preparing the festive show for this week's performances.
Where is Santa? is directed and written by Ellie Hitchcock, a well-known face in the Stratford on Stage team, having acted in four performances including her first, last year's Bad Jelly.
This is Ellie's first time directing and says she is loving working with the cast and crew, "everyone has been so supportive of me".
Joshua Reay (13), Christine Bovaird (14) and Rubeana Reader star as elves challenged with finding Santa, who is hiding somewhere in Taranaki.
The trio are all new to Stratford on Stage, but keen to be part of future productions.
