Up the Chimney

"Up the Chimney" by Shepherd Knapp is a charming play set in the early 1900's that follows two children on their Christmas adventure. Set on Christmas Eve, siblings Jack and Polly write letters to Santa and anxiously await his arrival, but their anticipation shifts when Nurse Mary shares stories of their father's youth, and they are visited by a little green man who brings news that Santa is too sick to deliver gifts. To save Christmas, Jack and Polly embark on a magical quest to the North Pole, armed with fairy aids, to deliver medicine to Santa, allowing him to complete his Christmas duties and spread cheer. This heartwarming tale shows the spirit of generosity, the wonders of childhood imagination, and celebrates the magic of Christmas morning.
