This version of Santa is coming to town but he isn't from the North Pole- he's a jolly local and Christmas City native. Homegrown actor Danny Roebuck leads the film "Saint Nick of Bethlehem".

"It is a family-friendly movie. It's funny. It's a little tearjerker and it's certainly going to entertain you. And it's perfect for the entire family," Roebuck says, "It's something that Hollywood's not giving any more. It's a good old family fun-filled Christmas movie".

In the film, Roebuck, who has appeared in TV series "9-1-1," “Lost,” and “Matlock,” and in films such as "The Fugitive" and Rob Zombie's "The Munsters," plays Nick McNulty, who finds a renewed spirit after the death of his son by dressing up as Santa Claus.

As seen in the film's trailer, the film shows festive scenery around town including a gleeful Roebuck dancing inside St. Luke's Children's Hospital and the cast riding in a car, seemingly for a Christmas parade, near Historic Hotel Bethlehem.

Join us for an unforgettable night featuring Zachary Ross from Man Overboard performing acoustic set! Opening the show is James Barrett and The Robinsonade. Don’t miss this chance to experience a nostalgic night at The Ritz —grab your tickets now!
