Get your photo taken with Santa and enjoy some holiday fun at the Bowie Gym's annual "Saturday Fun With Santa" event on December 14.

Admission to the event is free with a new unwrapped toy per child to be donated to the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots Toy Drive or pay $3 per child without a toy. For more information, please contact the City of Bowie Gymnasium at 301-809-2388.

Join us for an adorable puppet show as we learn about Rufus: The Red-Nosed Rain Dog. A lost and lonely dog shows up at Santa's workshop. At first he's rejected because he has a red nose, but eventually we learn that everyone is different and everyone is special. Great for family audiences and the younger child. Free. No reservations needed.

A Christmas Carol recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. After their visits, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man. A Christmas Carol opens on a bleak, cold Christmas Eve in London, seven years after the death of Jacob Marley. Scrooge dislikes Christmas and refuses a dinner invitation from his nephew Fred—the son of Fan, Scrooge's dead sister.
