PLOT SUMMARY:
It’s 10 days before Christmas, and
newlywed David Tuttle has secretly been moonlighting as a department
store Santa so that he can buy his wife a fantastic, expensive gift. He
tells her he's working late at the office, but she suspects his late
nights are an excuse to sneak out to have an affair. The suspected
other woman, some wacky neighbors, a slightly off-balance Santa
burglar, his tough gun-toting fiancée, and a hypnotized
policeman (who thinks he's an exotic dancer) add up to a rollicking
lighthearted tale that is full of mistaken identities and zany
foul-ups, with a smattering of slapstick! Visit www.conejoplayers.org for
more details.
