Daniel French Visit in Block 3

On Nov. 11, LA-based musician Daniel French brought the Packard Hall audience to their feet, dancing to his unique blend of cumbia, hip hop, reggaeton, and Mexican folk. The evening performance was preceded by a morning convergence class, where classes from Theatre and Dance, History, English, Environmental Studies, Spanish, Sociology, and Music all got to engage with French.

What happens when Santa’s Elves forget that he has retired? The handbook says we must have a new Santa before Christmas Eve and…it’s the week before Christmas?!! Our Elves must come together through song, dance, and doughnuts to search for the next Santa before it’s too late. But someone seems to have intentionally sent them on an impossible path. This hilarious, poignant, and ultimately heartwarming musical is exactly the escape you’re looking for this holiday season.
