Happy Elf
Deborah Runestad of Wilton, center, plays Mrs. Claus in the Town Players of New Canaan’s presentation of Harry Connick, Jr.'s The Happy Elf. The musical, which features more than a dozen songs by Connick, tells the story of Eubie, the happiest elf at the North Pole, and his mission to turn a whole town of naughty children nice in just one day. The show runs for two weekends, beginning Friday, Dec. 4. For tickets, call 203-966-7371 or order online at www.tpnc.org .
