FSHS Thespians Present Ho Ho Ho The Santa Claus Chronicles
The Fort Scott High School Thespians present the children’s theatre production of Ho Ho Ho The Santa Claus Chronicles by Pat Cook at 7 p.m. on Dec. 13 and 14 in the FSHS Auditorium.
Pioneer Drama Service describes the play this way: “We join the host for a special live edition of “The Santa Claus Chronicles” at the North Pole just a few days before Christmas. We start with a press conference where Saint Nick’s press secretary answers reporters’ questions about the jolly guy. … We also meet the elves, Eeny, Meeny, Miney, and Sol, who take care of the reindeer, and we hear from the elves who work the gift suggestion hotline. But the biggest mystery at the North Pole is where Mrs.Claus has disappeared to. Just what is she up to? Find out in a surprising ending that will leave a smile on everyone’s face.”
The production involves 44 local students in first through eighth grade and 24 high school Thespians who serve as directors, coaches, and designers
Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for children. All tickets are reserved seating and are available at fortscotthighschool.ludus.com or at the door. Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime.
Ho Ho Ho The Santa Claus Chronicles is produced by FSHS Theatre Director Angie Bin and senior Directors Kaiden Clary and Cooper George. Junior Junie Fisher serves as Music Director and sophomore Ava Johnson is the Choreographer.

Pumpkins are November's Harvest of the Month! Do you like
pumpkin pie? Original pumpkin pie recipes used by settlers
involved baking a hollowed-out pumpkin instead of crust,
stuffed with apples, milk and spices. Pumpkins are an
excellent source of potassium and vitamin A, as well as a good
source of fiber. Pumpkin seeds also pack a high nutrition
punch, including protein, fiber and a variety of vitamins and
minerals.
