ABOUT THE SHOW: The hilarious holiday comedy Santa Claus vs. The Martians returns for a SIXTH time. Written by Andi Allen and directed by Alexis Sparkles Belt, you will want to make sure you catch this holiday classic before it goes into semi-retirement!

The play, based on the 1964 infamously bad cult movie Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, was created by Allen in 2010 for Level Ground Arts. The show was a critical hit, which prompted LGA to revive the show in 2012. Camp Death Productions brought the show back to life in 2014 in Plano and 2016 and 2018 at the Margo Jones Theatre in Fair Park. After 5 years, CDP has brought the comedy back to life, this time as a co-production with MainStage Irving-Las Colinas.

The play recreates many of the hilariously bad acting moments and low budget props from the original film, as Martian leader Kimar kidnaps Earth's Santa Claus in order to bring happiness and laughter to the children of Mars. Opposing Kimar in his plan are Martian villain Voldar, as well as two Earth children, Billy and Betty Foster.

PARKING: There is a large parking lot across the street from the theatre. Turn on to Delaware after the Pawn shop.
