What if you could retcon Christmas? During a holiday season to forget, a disgruntled comic-book writer decides he would love to see a new set of holiday traditions—where beloved icons like Santa Claus are reborn as superheroes. Anything goes in this new comedy from Bill Corbett, who is probably best known for his years as a writer (and performer as Crow T. Robot during the SciFi era) of Mystery Science Theatre 3000, and for his contributions to the podcast-inspired follow-up, Rifftrax. Here, Corbett takes a closer look at our seasonal traditions and finds them wanting. Helping him bring his vision of Frostina the Snow-woman to the stage are the fine folks at Joking Envelope, and a cast that includes Joseph Scrimshaw, Mo Perry, Matt Erkel, Emily Gunyou Halaas, and John Middleton.
