The Truth About Santa
The Tank and Theater of the Apes present
THE TRUTH ABOUT SANTA
An Apocalyptic Holiday Romp (with Music) by Greg Kotis
Directed by Ilana Becker
Music Direction by Steven Gross

Many people think they know the truth about Santa, but they are wrong. Ho ho ho, children! Santa has some shocking unadvertised powers, a couple of half-mortal offspring his wife hasn't found out about yet, and a lot on his mind. He's tired of those damn singing elves. He's tired of the lies. This is the Christmas Santa will reveal his true self. Prepare for the Ragnarök, urm, SANTA CLAUS' RETURN TO OFF-OFF-BROADWAY.
