A Passage Theatre favorite, Jeffery Solomon (MotherSon) returns to Trenton's Mill Hill Playhouse with his hilarious, clever and endearing new one-man comedy Santa Claus is Coming Out, directed by Joe Brancato.

It starts when a little boy asks Santa for a doll, gets a truck, and thinks he's been bad. The child's quiet letter of complaint shakes St. Nick to the soul as he recalls his fearful youth during the middle ages (when homosexuals were torn to pieces) and regrets the promotional deals he made with Coca-Cola that force him to stay in the closet. Santa Claus Is Coming Out, a theatrical mock-u-mentary by Jeffrey Solomon, reveals the secret romantic life of the beloved childhood icon and the scandal that rocks the world when the truth leaks out.
