Why kids should get all the holiday fun? The Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad is hosting our second annual Santa Express Silver Edition train ride, exclusively for riders 21 and over! You’ll feel like a kid again as you take a festive, peaceful ride along the Upper Nisqually Valley while sipping cocoa, nibbling on cookies, listening to Christmas music and visiting with Santa. This year, Heritage Distilling Company will be onboard to assure your ride is merry and bright. Enjoy special hot chocolate, spiked cider, and loaded eggnog at a no-host cash bar. It’s great for couples. It’s fun for friends. And it’s only for riders 21 and over! Seating is limited and our Santa Express rides fill up fast, so book your seats as soon as possible.

LOVE LETTERS
Written by A. R. Gurney
Directed by Ben Hohman
Reader’s Theatre for all ages.
Andrew Makepeace Ladd III and Melissa Gardner, both born to wealth and position, are childhood friends whose lifelong correspondence begins with birthday party thank you notes and summer camp postcards. Romantically attached, they continue to exchange letters through the boarding school and college years, where Andy goes on to excel at Yale and law school, while Melissa flunks out of a series of “good schools.” While Andy if off at war, Melissa marries, but her attachment to Andy remains strong and she continues to keep in touch as he marries, becomes a successful attorney, gets involved in politics and eventually is elected to the U.S. Senate. Meanwhile, her marriage in tatters, Melissa dabbles in art and gigolos, drinks more than she should and becomes estranged from her children. Eventually she and Andy do become involved in a brief affair, but it is too late for both of them. However, Andy’s last letter, written to her mother after Melissa’s untimely death, makes it eloquently clear how much they really meant and gave to each other over the years; physically apart, perhaps, but spiritually as close as only true lovers can be.
Performance dates: Every Friday and Saturday evening with curtain time at 7:30. Each weekend features a different cast.
Tickets are $15.00 and are available online at:
