Santa Claustrophobia

Synopsis:
A grumpy substitute teacher moonlighting as a shopping mall Santa Claus gets trapped in a mall elevator with an overly cheerful Elf, a Christmas shoplifter, a cell-phone addicted cashier, a worn-out mom, a man giddy that he has a temporary respite from shopping with his wife, and two kids determined to find out if Santa is a fake. It doesn't take long for this set of quirky captives to get on each other's nerves, but when the elevator doors are finally pried open, the chaos only escalates as they find themselves mobbed by a crazed crowd of disgruntled Christmas shoppers. This witty play is chock-full of wordplay, one-liners, and double-entendre to delight audiences.
