ZOOMING SANTA
by Bambi Everson
ZOOMING SANTA is a delightful short play that cleverly combines humor and the spirit of Christmas in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The play opens with Mia, an 8-year-old girl, waiting for a Zoom call with Santa, a meeting arranged by her mother as a form of punishment for Mia’s lie. Santa, portrayed as an older gentleman, brings a sense of humor to the call, apologizing for being late because one of his reindeer threw up his carrots. This sets the tone for the comedic elements that follow.
As the conversation progresses, Mia’s skepticism about Santa’s identity leads to a series of humorous exchanges. Santa tries to prove his identity by showing Mia a snowy backdrop, claiming it’s the North Pole, and even shivering for effect. He also makes light-hearted comments about his life at the North Pole, such as the challenges of getting food and the fact that he eats a lot of candy.
The play also uses humor to address serious topics. When Mia questions Santa about the reality of Christmas and why some children don’t get a visit, Santa responds with a mix of humor and sincerity, explaining the challenges he faces and the importance of hope and kindness.
ZOOMING SANTA is a play that uses comedy to create a unique and engaging narrative. It’s a story that will resonate with audiences of all ages, especially in these challenging times. It’s a reminder of the magic of Christmas, the importance of kindness, and the power of hope, all delivered with a good dose of humor.
ZOOMING SANTA will be released in paperback later this year, as part of a collection of short plays. It is available for licensing directly from the author. Send us an email if you’d like to do a production.
