Shaun Loeser again cleverly directs this wackiness. The series of sketches to delight the Christmas season are written and performed by alumni of ImprovOlympic, Second City and Comedy Sportz. There are full-out Broadway musical parodies and original Claymation animated shorts in the Rankin & Bass style. Every year audiences return again and again creating a cult following to see this uproariously funny group of comedians romp around the stage giving us Yuletide cheer in every sketch. You will fall off your chair with laughter and call the box office the next day to come see the show again.

Ovation nominated and audience favorite, this is a true ensemble of wonderfully funny and skilled comedians. Brandon Loeser, Shaun Loeser, Lon Gowan, Chey Kennedy, Rusty Locke, Richard Lee Warren and featuring Omar D. Brancato and Thomas Vu, each and every one brings their special brand of silliness. As Director Shaun Loeser tells us, “Warning: Santasia is based upon true life stories and we just make sure we keep the fun in dysfunction!”

I am no longer a SANTASIA virgin. Last year was my “First”, and now I have become a true devotee. Now, as I have said before, this is not a kiddy show, and you must have a sense of humor, as I’m sure you do. It runs through Christmas Eve, and remember that Santa knows whether you have been naughty or nice, and he also know if you don’t go to see his show. You don’t want a lump of coal in your Christmas stocking, do you? You would much rather receive a Ferrari, wouldn’t you? Therefore, SANTASIA is a MUST see and has become a holiday tradition. Merry Christmas to all, and to all, have a SANTASIA great time.
Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
