What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the play, noting that while they enjoyed several of the short plays, there is a lack of enthusiasm for the first one. Overall, the performance has its moments but is not universally acclaimed.
Synopsis
Comedy/Drama/Fantasy Four heart warming Christmas plays, just in time for the holiday!: THE OFFICE PARTY (2m, 1f) - Bill and Joyce meet at a holiday office party, rekindling a love affair that leads to Joyce's living room and the possible early arrival of Richard, the third side of an unresolved triangle.
SANTA'S CLARA (2m, 1f) - In the shadows of a Hell's Kitchen bottle redemption center, a fired department store Santa meets a teenage runaway toting a shopping cart of empties and a cynical heart full of nightmare-shrouded sugar plum memories.
But tonight, more than bottles may get redeemed.
THE FIRST NOEL (1f) - A homeless and hungry Noel returns to the site of her childhood, now a Chinese take-out, but will her journey get her the handout she wants, or the nurturing she needs?
BALLS (4f, 1m) - A box of very eccentric, multi-colored holiday ornaments discover just how fragile their existence really is.
SANTA COMES TO THE KING DAVID (3f, 1m) - A distraught woman saves what she thinks is a bridge leaper in a Santa suit, discovering instead a story of unfulfilled dreams, unconditional devotion, a Kris Kringle who makes annual visits to a Jewish nursing home, and the crazy possibility that two broken hearts can indeed make one whole.
