THE SANTA CLOSET
EMBARK will be bringing back immensely talented New York actor Jeffrey Solomon (Mother/Son) with his one man Off-Broadway Show:  THE SANTA CLOSET (formerly entitled Santa Claus is Coming Out!).  


When a little boy's gender atypical gift request to the North Pole is denied, a series of heart-felt letters from the child nudge Santa Claus out of the closet, and into the culture wars. The play's Off Broadway run was heralded as "Hilarious" and "Brilliant" by Broadway World and Out Magazine. The New York Times raved: "A Delightful Surprise! ... This isn't a clumsy parody, but a sensitive, imaginative tale that really is about a boy's realization that he is different. Mr. Solomon portrays an...

amazing range of characters, all of them beautifully." A theatrical documentarian in the mold of Anna Deveare Smith and the Laramie Project, Mr. Solomon purports to have interviewed, and portrays more than a dozen iconic characters. Among them are Sidney Green, the "little Jew who saved Christmas;" nine year-old Gary, who asks Santa for a Sparkle Dream Princess doll; Mary Ellen, who evokes a 21st century Anita Bryant; Rudolph, elves, and many others. All of the key players in the scandal that has come to be known as 'Santa-Gate'.

The play was inspired by the national movement to speak honestly and openly to children about LGBT lives and issues, and the conservative backlash.
