About the event
Yes, Virginia is an imagining of what led up to the writing of The Sun's famous "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" editorial. Following the editorial's author, Francis Pharcellus Church, Yes, Virginia tells the story of an uncaring journalist who finally finds a cause to believe in when he meets Amelia O'Connor, an immigrant woman facing unemployment and eviction in the 1890s Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Yes, Virginiaย features book, music, and lyrics by Showpeople Resident Artist Colby Thompson
