Welcome to SNHU, where holiday performers learn, share, encourage, and connect with others to nurture their craft. Whether a Mrs. Claus, Elf, or Santa, it takes more than putting on a red dress or suit to become a great character. When we reflect on our own Christmas memories, something deep within us is triggered each time we portray our character. It starts from within and it is simply why we do what we do. SNHU is your partner on your journey.
Over two days, experience our interactive and hands-on approach to developing your character and performing in an evolving Christmas community. We welcome new and experienced performers, women and men, and all holiday characters. Learn to rock your role from the inside out!
