Theatrikos is delighted to present its upcoming holiday production, the heartwarming true story The Man Who Saved Christmas. Written by Ron Lytle and directed by Joe Maniglia, this captivating, family-friendly production will run from November 26 to December 21, 2025.

This delightful, family-friendly play tells the incredible true story of A.C. Gilbert, the inventor of the beloved Erector Set. The year is 1917, and the U.S. Council of National Defense is calling for a nationwide ban on all Christmas toys to conserve resources for the war effort. While others in the toy industry reluctantly agree, Gilbert stands up for what he believes in. This inspiring tale follows his journey to Washington D.C. to defend Christmas itself, proving that the magic of the holiday is worth fighting for.

While not as widely known, this beautiful story sends the perfect message for the holiday season and we know Flagstaff will love it. “This show promises an amazing evening of toe-tapping fun that the whole family will enjoy,” said Director Joe Maniglia. “It’s not likely you’ve heard of this musical before, but it has everything: love, dancing, singing, intrigue and a story to warm your heart.”

Performance Dates: November 26 – December 21
Showtimes:Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 7:30 PM, Sundays at 2:00 PM

This Giving Tuesday, Theatrikos invites you to join us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people throughout our community. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to support our Education Program Scholarship Fund ensuring every child has the chance to participate in theatre, regardless of financial circumstances.

For many students, theatre is more than an extracurricular activity. It is a place where they discover their voice, build confidence, and learn to collaborate. It is where quiet kids learn to speak up, where imaginative kids find an outlet, and where every child has the chance to be seen, heard, and valued. In our classrooms, students learn to trust themselves, take creative risks, and experience the joy of working together toward a shared goal. These lessons last far beyond the final bow.

Your support directly impacts these young artists. A scholarship can mean the difference between a child sitting on the sidelines and a child stepping into the spotlight. It can open pathways to friendships, mentors, and opportunities that stay with them for years to come.

When you give this Giving Tuesday, you are not just supporting a program.
You are nurturing creativity.
You are empowering new voices.
You are helping a child discover who they can be.

Thank you for believing in the transformative power of theatre and for helping us ensure that the arts remain accessible to all.

The countdown is on! Starting December 1st, single tickets for our 2026 Season will be officially available. This is your opportunity to select the performances you are most looking forward to and secure the seats you love.

Our upcoming season features a dynamic lineup of productions that celebrate storytelling at its best. From heartfelt dramas to uplifting comedies, each show offers something unique, and we’re thrilled to share these experiences with you.

As always, popular performances sell quickly, so we encourage you to plan ahead. Mark your calendar and be ready when tickets go on sale. We look forward to welcoming you into the theatre for another season of memorable moments, inspiring performances, and the shared joy of live arts.
