A private, by-invitation-only industry presentation of The Naughty List, by Tawni O’Dell, will be held December 10.
The new comedy by New York Times bestselling author Tawni O’Dell (When It Happens to You, Windows, Pay the Writer) will be directed by Broadway’s Sheldon Epps (Blues In The Night, Play On!) and feature Tony nominee Daniel Breaker (Passing Strange, Shrek The Musical), two-time Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz (Catch Me If You Can, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), and Michelle Federer (Wicked, The Cottage).
The Naughty List is a three-character play about the reconnection between mature sweethearts. After 373 years of marriage, a heated argument between Santa and Mrs. Claus threatens to unravel one of the world’s most famous power couples. When Mrs. Claus runs off with two youthful reindeer-in-training the night before Christmas, Santa is forced to decide if the woman he loves should come first before his professional responsibilities.
