An Update From Kringle Spirit

I hope you are all digging out safely after the latest blizzard.

I wanted to share something important about where Kringle Spirit is headed.

First and foremost, the VIP Santa Experience is not going anywhere. In fact, it is expanding and becoming even more immersive beginning this year.

But Kringle Spirit has always been about more than a single season.

Over the past several months, I have partnered with Blue Arrow Farm in Pine Island, New York, near Warwick. It is a working farm and animal rescue, and together we are beginning to build thoughtfully designed, year-round programming rooted in the same care, detail, and intention that defines Kringle Spirit.

One of the first initiatives now taking shape is a theatre program that I am building and will personally teach.

This is focused strictly on acting and improv. Not musical theatre. Not singing or dance. The emphasis is on presence, storytelling, confidence, and the courage to stand in a room and be seen.

I am currently exploring a consistent Monday evening structure with three tracks:

6:00pm — Ages 8 to 12
7:00pm — Ages 13 to 17
8:00pm — Ages 18 and up

The goal is simple. To create an ongoing creative home. A place people can return to week after week. A space that builds skill, confidence, and discipline over time.

Before opening this more broadly, I wanted to share it here first. The Kringle Spirit families are the reason this is possible. Your trust over the years has allowed me to think bigger and build further.

If this is something you or your child would genuinely consider participating in, reach out and let me know.

Thank you for continuing to be part of this story.

With Wonder,
