One Woman.  10 Characters.  Teetering on the edge.

Written by Brenda Lucy and Janelle Ranek – Directed by Nancy Michael – Performed by Janelle Ranek

For over two decades, I have been performing, “Letters To Santa” in many iterations at the Bryant Lake Bowl! Every year features letters from a delightfully bizarre cast of characters—and as any regular attendee can tell you, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill, “I want a pony” letters. Oh no. These folks have requests (and issues) that’ll make you feel positively normal by comparison.

The best part? So many of you have made this a holiday tradition! Seriously, you come back year after year, proving that my slightly unhinged creations strike a chord deep in your souls. This mutual obsession inspires me—and my wife/co-creator—to unleash new material every season. It’s like our gift to you. Awwwe.

This year is no exception, Meet POLLY, obsessive about everything from ducks to dish soap; AMANDA HUMP, a bouffant styled beautician / taxidermist;  DELORES, the proud new Kwik Trip Rewards Member recounting her run-ins with the Amish, LUCILLE; the bird loving, squirrel hating, Target Greatland team member, MARTHA GREENLEAF the motivational speaker with a black belt in Toastmasters, and other unforgettable characters that you never knew you needed in your life.

Rounding everything out, GLORIA; the chain smoking, martini-drinking old broad will answer audience questions with all of the subtlety of a freight train.

Bonus Content: Aunt Hillderina, Queen of Craft Chaos

No holiday show would be complete without Aunt Hillderina. Appearing via video, she’ll dish out her signature holiday hostess tips. Need to spruce up your table settings? She’s got you covered… in her very unique Hillderina style.

Don’t Miss Out—Seriously, Don’t

Get your tickets NOW and prepare to laugh until your face hurts (and you may even pee a little).  Last year this show sold out fast, so don’t wait!
