The Night Before Christmas at Santa Fe Playhouse

It’s Christmas Eve and two men in a warehouse of borderline-legal merchandise discover an intruder in an elf costume. Or is he on a mission from the North Pole, sent to London to spread the truth about Christmas? Things get more complicated when Cherry arrives, demanding some hard-to-get swag—a Power Ranger for her kid. A seriously twisted, blatantly irreverent holiday comedy for the adults (and only the adults) in the family. 

Written by Anthony Neilson and directed by Emily Rankin.

With Joey Beth Gilbert as Cherry, Ali Janes as Elf, David Stallings as Simon, and Hamilton Turner as Gary.

Featuring scenic design by Vincent Faust, costume design by Adrienne Harper, and fight direction by Tris Ikeda. The stage manager is Lucy Felt. Further design team to be announced at a future date.
