FOUR LOST SANTAS is the story of a barbershop quartet of Santas who are lost and stranded on the side of the road with a broken-down car, missing their big break at SantaCon. A mother and son (Judy and Rudy), who are running late to perform in a production of AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS, see them, and Rudy is amazed at the sight. He insists that he and his mother should help them, but Judy is reluctant to help as she is anxious to get to the show. Rudy, however, reminds her that, “The most important rule or creed is to help those in need!” Will the Santas make it to SantaCon? Do Judy and Rudy make it to the theater on time?
