Virginia O'Hanlon is an eight-year-old girl looking for the answers to whether Santa Claus is real by writing a letter to the editor of the New York Sun in 1897. A veteran editor, Frank P. Church knows the girl deserves a truthful answer. Based on real events, the play is narrated by the editor of the Sun and puts the wonder back into Christmas from the views of a child and adult, making you believe that Santa Claus "exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist."
