When a little boy’s gender atypical gift request to the North Pole is denied, a series of heartfelt letters from the child nudge Santa Claus out of the closet and into the culture wars.
When a little boy’s gender atypical gift request to the North Pole is denied, a series of heartfelt letters from the child nudge Santa Claus out of the closet and into the culture wars. In this theatrical mockumentary in the mold of Anna Deavere Smith and other story-focused works, acclaimed writer Jeffrey Solomon purports to have interviewed – and portrays – all of the key players in the scandal that has come to be known as ‘Santa-Gate’.
The Santa Closet was inspired by the national movement to speak honestly and openly to children about LGBTQ+ lives and issues and the resulting conservative backlash.
The Santa Closet debuted with Houses on the Moon in New York City in 2009. The current version was performed at the same theatre, opening on 3 December 2019.
