WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Just in time for Christmas, Clancy Productions presents The Truth About Santa, a new play with music by Tony Award Winner Greg Kotis (Urinetown). John Clancy directs this refreshingly apocalyptic holiday tale.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus! And the terrible truth about who he is, how he treats his elves, and what his home life has become will all be revealed in The Truth About Santa. Will this Christmas be Santa's last? Will Mrs. Claus finally make good on her threat to submerge humanity in a lake of fire? Who are these children and where did they get their strange powers?
Please note: although this dysfunctional family comedy features children, it is NOT FOR CHILDREN -- adults and extremely skeptical tweens only, please.

Fortunately, director John Clancy ensures it's all amiable enough to coast along pleasantly for chunks of its 60-minute running time.
Picture It's A Wonderful Life's George Bailey (playwright Greg Kotis, a Tony Award winner for Urinetown) -- all drunk and disheveled -- returning home on Christmas Eve to find that Mary (Ayun Halliday) has been doing more than just kissing Santa (Bill Coelius) under the mistletoe. Over the years, Santa fathered both of the children George [...]
