Meet a few of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus actors!

At The Hartland Players' Encore Youth Theater, we are always so impressed with how much each of our cast members contributes to the production.  Working with them three days a week gives us the opportunity to truly appreciate who they are.  We watch them grow in the theatrical arts while making truly lasting friendships with their cast mates.  It is very rewarding for us on many levels.

In the past, we have always worked quietly toward the production and then shared our cast with you opening night.  This time around, we thought it might be nice to let you meet our cast ahead of time.  Over the next several days, you'll be able to meet all of our cast members and appreciate them as much as we do!  We'll start at A and make our way to Z.
