THE LITTLEST ELF is a fun-for-the-whole-family holiday musical, filled with some of your favorite holiday carols, plus some complimentary originals. As I'm sure you all know, every Christmas Eve before Santa goes on his famous sleigh ride, all the elves of the North Pole put on a Christmas Pageant for Santa. It helps fatten up his Christmas spirit! You knew that right? Everyone knows that! Well, one Christmas Eve a new elf came to the North Pole, but didn't have a song to sing for Santa. All the other elves were more than willing to help, chaos ensues, and eventually the Littlest Elf sings an original song with the help of the Christmas Spirit. Ho! Ho! Ho! THE LITTLEST ELF, written and directed by Mike Kinnie, was put on for many years at the Lake Ontario Playhouse and now it's coming to Cape Vincent!
