About the play

Dear Santa
By Norm Foster

Christmas Eve is approaching and Santa's pragmatic chief-of-staff thinks it's high time for a new sleigh after 500 years. Arrangements have been made for a salesman to venture up from Detroit with the latest model in tow. As well, the last order of supplies has just arrived via the North Pole Special.

However, there are two problems. There is no wood glue included with the supplies and the train had been hauling an uninvited stowaway, a teenager armed with a letter from her little brother containing an unusual Christmas wish.

To complicate matters, things are not altogether happy at the North Pole. Santa's loose-lipped housekeeper has a big crush on the chief-of-staff and he's oblivious to the adoration. As is usually the case with such productions, everybody associated with it is having a ball. And this sense of unreserved fun is passed along to the audience.
