  • Gather by the Ghost Light: Santa Doesn't Live Here Anymore by Patrick Gabridge
    “

    We produced an audio play version of this script in our Season 4 line-up on the Gather by the Ghost Light podcast (https://www.gatherbytheghostlight.com/s4e14). How do you break the news to your 30 year old son who still believes in Santa that Santa isn't real? In this script, Gabridge gives us his take on that very situation and you can tell he had a lot of fun writing it while doing it! The play opens mildly enough but then turns into nonstop laughter as it's revealed the son is a grown man who still believes. Highly recommended!

    I enjoyed the clever premise and execution of the concept. An unusual twist on a holiday tale that really works!

    A very funny piece about the need to hold on to the magic of our childhood while growing up. Well done.

    Poor Jeffrey - his entire world is rocked in mere moments by Mom and Dad (who, it turns out, have been pretty good at hiding information up till now.) Reading this play, I was reminded of a tennis match, the incredulous Jeffrey stuck in the middle as two pros serve and return revelation after revelation. This is a hilarious piece that would be an excellent addition to any short play festival.

    Among the many delights of this truly giddy holiday treat is hearing the 30-year old Jeffery's incredulous rejection of the idea that Santa could be a conspiracy perpetrated by millions of parents. This revelation starts a cascade of witty disillusionment that circles back to an affirmation of the spirit of the holiday. A most enjoyable confection!

    That Patrick Gabridge has revealed to me that Santa Claus may well be the largest conspiracy in American history alone made this play worth reading. A delightful and refreshing read on what usually is a tired trope in playwriting. Gabridge's SANTA DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE is like a roller coaster, it builds up and crescendos right into an insane ride that leaves you laughing and rushing through the pages to get to the next revelation. A perfect fit for a holiday-themed festival.
