Santa pauses on his rounds for a snack ... and comes face-to- face with his darkest secret.
“Wow! Who knew? Santa’s naughty secret was well hidden! ”
“Jamie Zemarel brought just the right “Scotch and Marlboros” characterization to his Santa Noir. ”
“Terrific acting by Alex Hess as Goth Noelle and Alex Floras-Matic as sexy Donna. ”
Best Present Ever
Written by Mark Harvey Levine

With Ann E. Nunez, Frederick Slate, Howard Raik
A woman spends Christmas away from her family and gets some truly awful Christmas presents. But she misses the Best Present Ever.
“This made me laugh out loud! ”
“I thought pets were the best present ever, but this cat and dog made me understand otherwise!”
“Great ensemble acting by the Chicago 3!”
Love, The Andersons

With Lynda Joel, Dana Hubbard, Don Converse
Linda and Charles are all set to be admitted to heaven. They’ve lived good, productive lives, and even brought documentation. But all does not go smoothly at the pearly gates.
“I’ll certainly think twice before I write another holiday newsletter! ”
“I hope I eventually go to heaven so I can meet Don Converse’s S.P. (Saint Peter)! ”
“It was a treat to watch Charles (Dana Hubbard) sweetly cringe as his wife (Lynda Joel) reveled in her annual bragfest!”
