The Santa Thing

    Surprising, fast-moving, and very funny. It would ba easy to make a fool out of an adult woman who still believes in Santa Claus -- but here, her obliviousness, and the deception by her unseen parents, comes off as sympathetic and even poignant.

    What could be a sour, make-or-break relationship moment for Alyssa -- as she discovers her 20-something girlfriend Taylor still very sincerely believes in Santa -- turns very sweet (but never saccharine) in this holiday comedy about what it means to believe and what it means to love.

    Recently I had the great honour of producing it as an audio play for Theatrical Shenanigans. Its a brilliantly funny piece that starts off intriguing the audience about what 'The Santa Thing' possibly could be and, as you are told about the 'interesting' relationship Taylor has with Santa and start to discover the truth yourself, as an audience member it makes it all the funnier still. Such a joy to produce and needs more productions!
