elf the musical

Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa's bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa's permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn't even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.

About Us

about our venue

In the summer of 1981 many theater minded people of Lamesa joined forces in forming a theater group. Since the group had no funds with which to produce its first show, a script had to be written. In just a few months, a melodrama, Skulduggery on the Square, was ready for production thanks to Pat Newberry and Carole Hill. The script contained music, comedy and drama as well as oleos. Over forty people took the stage for the first run and another seventy worked on various crews from publicity, scrapbook, and programs to lights, sound, and house management. It was a miracle that so many people turned out to organize theater in Lamesa, but it happened, and it remains a lasting miracle that the community continues their support.
