City Theatre and Adrienne Arsht Center present Black Santa

Southeastern premiere! Before Abbott Elementary, there was Patrice at Dartmouth Day School. Shortly before Christmas break, a third grader named Sharifa stands in front of her class and says, “Santa Claus is a Black man from Detroit,” sending the school into an uproar. This absurdist comedy examines how race and racial bias can have a foothold on one of the most benign figures — Santa Claus.
