Mother Solstice is a 90-minute female driven, original musical without intermission, with elements from the Germanic and Scandinavian reindeer Goddess folklore melded with the secular story of Santa. Both reside in the North Pole with Elves, sleighs with reindeer and gifts for nice children. Krampus and his minions deal with all the naughty ones. There is a cast of 7 Principal characters and a flexible ensemble. Mother Solstice is Elf meets Jingle Jangle with music that combines jazz with standard and modern holiday motifs. Mother Solstice explores themes of power, betrayal, and in the end love and forgiveness, which is What Christmas Really means.
