The Colorado Springs Conservatory joined forces with Colorado College for the premiere of Searching for Santa, a brand-new holiday musical created by Conservatory alumnus Joshua Franklin-Wolfe. With nearly 40 performers, live student musicians, and an original story full of humor and heart, the show was designed as a true community piece—bringing younger Conservatory students together with older college performers to create something entirely new. Franklin-Wolfe, who wrote the book, music, lyrics, and orchestrations, described the process as joyful and inspired by the holiday traditions he loves.
