Since 1983, The Young Americans have produced a holiday show to delight Southern California audiences, now’s the time to make this your new holiday tradition while supporting our local students from the Corona, CA-based Young Americans College of Performing Arts.

Here are a few questions asked about the show:

Wondering if Santa will be at the performance? Absolutely! Santa would never miss a chance to meet everyone. He loves to say hi and take pictures with anyone before the show and even at intermission. He’s a busy guy, but still takes time to say hello and even dance in the show!
Is this show suitable for young children? Absolutely. Every Young Americans performance is designed to entertain patrons of all ages.
Is there an intermission? Yes. There will be a 20 minute intermission after Act One.
