The Real Housewives of The North Pole at Hell in a Handbag Productions

Hell in a Handbag Productions is pleased to present the world premiere of The Real Housewives of The North Pole, a holiday parody written by Artistic Director David Cerda and directed by Tommy Bullington.

The cast includes ensemble members David Cerda, David Lipschutz, Terry McCarthy and Robert Williams with Taylor Owen Mercado, Kelly Opalko, Britain Shutters, Anna Rose Steinmeyer and Honey West. 

The North Pole is in trouble. Santa and all the North Pole power players are indicted for fraud and it’s up to the women to try and save their families from financial ruin. But how? Years of wealth and privilege have left them with a lot of designer clothes and jewelry, but little else. 

Santa’s wife, Ruth Claus (Honey West), is newly sober and juggling finances, with only her suave sobriety coach Carlos (Taylor Owen Mercado) to lean on. Enter Andy Cohen (David Lipschutz) from the Bravo network, who whisks her into reality TV stardom with The Real Housewives of the North Pole. 

Ruth joins a frosty lineup of holiday divas: Mrs. Samantha Frosty (Robert Williams), Suzy Snowflake (Britain Shutters), Mrs. Gladys Dasher (David Cerda) and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’s wife, Clarice (Anna Rose Steimeyer) – all ready to share holiday spirit – and actual spirits. 

Rounding out the chaos: an anonymous Production Assistant (Kelly Opalko) and Cookie (Terry McCarthy), the unapologetic make-up guru. There will be plenty of cameo appearances by some of the North Pole’s most famous (and infamous) citizens, as well – thanks to magic of technology.
