"Elf Jr. – the Musical, is a great fish-out-of-water comedy that is not only a timeless story that can be enjoyed by folks of all ages, it's the perfect venue to showcase the talented students in our district," said Paul Lanphear, theatre instructor and director at AJHS.

The musical showcases the story of Buddy, a young orphan, who crawls into Santa's bag of gifts, is transported to the North Pole, and raised as an elf. Buddy is unaware he is human, but his enormous size and lack of toy-making skills makes him question his true background. When he learns the truth, Buddy travels to New York to find his birth father and his true identify.
