Available Roles:

Saint Nick (Santa): (20s-30s, African-American) Known traditionally for his jolliness and good will, but has lost the spirit of Christmas. He moved out of the North Pole two years ago when he found out that his wife, Mrs. Claus, had been cheating on him with Jack Frost. He now lives alone on Long Island and Christmas hasn't happened in two years. He's still a smooth guy with a BIG heart and is loved by the town. But, he remains too heartbroken to be “Santa” again. FEATURED

Rudy: (20s-30s, any ethnicity) Traditionally known as Rudolph, but prefers to be called Rudy for short. He is Nick's best-friend and former driver when he was still Santa. He still sticks by Nick's side as his friend and driver. He's a bit quirky but is still well known and respected in the community. He does however get upset when people call him Rudolph instead of Rudy. FEATURED

Aaron: (Early-mid 20s, African-American, Hispanic) A good looking young man that can't seem to get a girl to actually like him. He's not shy but doesn't have much self-esteem. FEATURED

Lauren: (Early-mid 20s, African-American, Hispanic) A beautiful young lady who seems to always get involved with the wrong guys. She has come to terms with the fact that love may not be real. FEATURED

Mrs. Claus: (20s-30s, any ethnicity) She is Saint Nick's ex-wife. She is a beautiful woman who now lives with Jack Frost back up in the North Pole. She seems to have no regrets and doesn't mind that she is part of the reason why Christmas is over. SUPPORTING

Jack Frost: (20s-30s, any ethnicity) He is a BIG and STRONG man. He really doesn't enjoy Christmas or winter much, but it is the family business. He shows no respect for Santa's loss and is very cocky when seen by the public. SUPPORTING

Tiffany: (can play late teens-early 20s, African-American, Hispanic) Aaron's sister. She's usually away at school but decided to come home for Christmas this year to introduce her new boyfriend to her family. She is a very beautiful girl and looked at as the opposite of Aaron. She is very outgoing and usually gets what she wants. SUPPORTING

Anthony: (can play late teens-early 20s, any ethnicity) Tiffany’s boyfriend. UNDER 5 ROLE.

Young boy: (aged 7-10, African-American, Hispanic) Lauren’s younger brother. NON-SPEAKING ROLE.
