Project Synopsis
This is a live stage production of a holiday satire. It’s a week before Christmas and all is NOT well at the North Pole. Bad weather has caused the “Elite Eight” to be grounded until the storm clears. Naughty habits and new team members threaten the function and harmony of the team. Orders in the workshop are behind and running out of materials. Elves are popping pills to make it through the double and even triple shifts. Stress is mounting on North Pole’s CEO and COO, Nick and Marija. Their marriage is broken and both are wondering which direction the future will take them. With so many things going sideways how will the “big show” happen this Christmas?
