The Elf in the Gulf

Seasonal musical theatre fun for all the family (but mainly the kids). It’s a continuation of the world created by Collab Company last year with a troupe of singers, dancers and actors; this time five rookie elves must complete their training at the Christmas Academy and Department of Elvish Training (CADET) in pursuit of their sole mission: to bring joy to families across the UAE. We’re promised interactive, family-friendly storytelling with lots of laughs, songs, and holiday magic in a cosy picnic-style theatre setting (bring a picnic and cushions).

There are shows on 6 and 7 December at 11am, 2pm and 6pm; it’s at South View School in Dubailand. Tickets are AED 75 for kids, AED 100 for adults, or AED 300 AED for a Family & Friends four-pack (we assume that’s basically two adults and two kids).
