Play Development
Santa.Com – The Musical carries an easy-to-follow plot through a simple, yet compelling story of good vs. bad, right vs. wrong, truth vs. falsehood. It also presents a metaphor for today’s high speed/high tech society: through its example of the over-commercialization of life and the over-complicated, if not overwhelming, events that take us further and further away from the simplicity and intrinsic values of those events. At the same time, the play is not a manifesto against progress; it is a story that “opposes” the loss of the soul, human warmth and the spiritual connections that are destroyed in the rush to capitalize on and exploit the benefits of newly developed technologies.
In the end, Santa.Com – The Musical, is a musical play about spirit and spirituality as the bedrock foundation of people’s lives; it is a message communicated through words and music about where our spirituality comes from and how easy it can be lost.
In a musical format, Santa.Com – The Musical presents the opportunity for creating original material to articulate thought-provoking and universal themes in a contemporary story to a large and traditionally-seasonal theatre-going audience – families and their children – who return to their local theatres year after year to experience the annual Christmas production of Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol.
Santa.Com – The Musical presents an alternative for programming that includes a story to which most audience members can readily identify, containing characters with which they can easily relate, and humor, music and songs that can capture their imagination, hold their attention and remain within their memories.
