In this world premiere play, it is Santa’s first year in retirement. Unimpressed with the new system in place at the North Pole (under the direction of his former apprentice and new CEO), Santa recruits his wife, his loyal stable attendant, and his trusted team of reindeer to go on one last mission to respond to the wish of an unhappy girl in foster care who doesn’t believe in him.
