SANTAPHOBIA
by Kamron Klitgaard
Directed by Melissa Baughn
A Family Friendly Christmas show!
Synopsis: Alice Gruber, a wealthy widow, must cure her estranged children of their fear of Santa Claus in order to redeem her and her late husband’s souls. She offers each of her grown children and their families, a portion of her vast estate if they will, but spend Christmas Eve with her in the Gruber mansion. But each sibling is determined to scare the others away so that they can keep the entire fortune for themselves (Scooby Doo style!) but instead of ghosts, they use the fear of Santa to do their scaring. After an action packed night of fake Santa scaring, booby traps, and a visit from the real Santa Claus, Alice must break her promise and reveal her late husband’s dreadful secret so that the family can finally learn the true meaning of Christmas.
