Eric The Elf

About Eric The Elf

A very special show for wee ones this Christmas time - join Eric on his adventure to save Christmas.

It’s Eric’s first day working in Santa’s Grotto and he is about as excited as an Elf can be. But what starts out as a magical day filled with fun soon goes wrong, as Eric is left all on his ownsome with the future of Christmas resting entirely on his rather small shoulders. Thankfully, a whole bunch of his little human pals have shown up, little children from all over Scotland and beyond. Surely if they work together, they can get the job done?
A fun-filled, interactive, inspiring musical adventure with lots of laughs and songs to join in with this Christmas.

Written and Composed by Andy McGregor
Directed by Julie Ellen
Set and Costume Design by Claire Halleran
Sound Design by Gary Cameron

First produced and presented by the Citizens Theatre
