But this time around, a director is employed to make it look more polished. A stage professional is hired, but he's a humorless, arrogant martinet. He finds Albie is an intolerably poor actor and that he bumbles and stumbles with props only convinces the director that a replacement Santa must be found. It falls on Catherine to tell Albie the bad news, but he's so devoted to the role, she tells him instead that he's so good, he won't need to rehearse with the others. On the day of the show, He shows up and just misses his replacement in the dressing room, only meeting on stage just as the curtain raises. Embarrassed, but moved by the holiday more than the Santa play, he gives the audience a sincere Christmas monologue, impressing the audience and ending gracefully. Written by WesternOne1 See less
