Virginia wondered and wrote: \u201cDear Editor, I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says if you see it in the Sun, it\u2019s so. Please tell me the truth. Is there a Santa Claus?\u201d<br \/>\nEd Mitchell, the Sun\u2019s editor, gives the assignment of answering Virginia\u2019s letter to Frank Church, who, until his wife and baby died last Christmas Eve, was the Sun\u2019s best and most dependable reporter. \u201cYes Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus is a play for young and old, magically reaffirming life\u2019s highest beauty and joy \u2013 \u201cthe eternal light with which childhood fills the world\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ezekiel Bates Masonic Lodge\u00a0invites all Masons to watch the VIP showing of the Attleboro Community Theatres performance of Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Clause.
