WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Developed at Penguin Rep Theatre, Santa Claus Is Coming Out, a theatrical mock-u-mentary, is about the worldwide scandal surrounding the outing of Santa Claus. Writer-performer Jeffrey Solomon traces the intensely personal struggle of the great holiday icon, as he tries to reconcile his love relationship with Italian toy maker Giovanni Geppetto with his passion for giving to the world's children.
Santa Claus is Coming Out features more than a dozen iconic characters. Among them are Sidney Green, the "little Jew who saved Christmas;" nine year-old Gary, who asks Santa for a Sparkle Dream Princess doll; Mary Ellen, who evokes a 21st century Anita Bryant; Rudolph, elves, and many others.

How would the world react to a gay Santa Claus? That's the question at the heart of Jeffrey Solomon's charming and gently provocative solo show, Santa Claus Is Coming Out, now at the Kirk Theatre on Theatre Row. Staged as a theatrical mockumentary, the piece provides multiple perspectives on "Santa Gate," triggered by the Christmas icon's gift of a doll to a young boy named Gary who had been continually requesting it.
We hear from Gary's conflicted parents, the actress hired to play Mrs. Claus, a TV evangelist who urges families to light fires in their chimneys to keep Santa out, and even Santa's lover -- a great-great-great-great grandson of Pinocchio. Notably, old St. Nick doesn't make a[...]
