The Narrator is a gentle, excitable person responsible for guiding the audience through our story. An enthusiastic storyteller who is warm and supportive, he’s a soft place for our characters (or audience) to land when things get tough. Santa is the embodiment of Christmas - joy, heart, and the knowledge that everything will work out in the end, with a little bit of magic. Comfort with singing and movement/dance is a plus.
A villain whose selfishness and megalomania turned him from a Christmas elf to a cunning imp, focused on fame and recognition. He is calculating and smooth, sly yet charming. Mortimer believes he’s the smartest person in any room and uses his skills to get what he wants - to replace Santa as the face of Christmas. Vocal range tenor/baritone, A2-G4. Comfort with movement/dance is a plus.
