Through the magic of theatre, dance and a lot of hard work by many volunteers, the San Mateo High School gym is transformed into a Holiday theatrical production complete with lighting, music, costumes and choreography. This year’s presentation is the 41st Anniversary of this magical production and will feature dancers currently within the City’s Youth and Adult Dance Programs, as well as city employees who perform in our famous Reindeer and the City Women’s dance.
