Event:              "Big Ralph-The Bully Elf" by American Dream 

                        Factory

                        Big Ralph is one of the North Pole's top elves...

                        but he has some issues.  First, he is bigger than

                        all of the other eleves and he's not very nice.  He

                        is a bully and he bullies everyone around him,

                        including the life size toys in his shop.  But

                        Ralph doesn't count on the toys having a say in

                        things themselves.  Filled with original,

                        entertaining songs and music, this show

                        captures the essence of important issues such

                        as self esteem, friendship, understanding and

                        compassion.  It also deals with bullying, why it

                        might happen and how it can be overcome, all

                        interwoven into a fun filled holiday story.  And in

                        the end, it is through love that true change in

                        someone can occur.  Big Ralph-The Bully Elf is

                        for families and children of all ages, but will

                        especially appeal to those in K-5.
