Can two broken hearts make one whole? 

Eleven minutes before midnight on Christmas Eve, two strangers meet at the exact center of the Brooklyn Bridge: Marsha Zimmerman, escaping another miserable holiday, and Tim Cleary, inexplicably dressed as Santa Claus.

Tim has just come from the King David Nursing Home, where for years he has spent Christmas Eve playing Santa for its Jewish residents—a tradition born from his childhood friendship with Stella Levy. But this Christmas, Stella has given her “little Santa” one final assignment: take half of the broken-heart charm she shared with her beloved husband to the Brooklyn Bridge and trust that he'll know what to do next.

Then Marsha arrives.

Warm, funny and touched with a little Christmas magic, SANTA COMES TO THE KING DAVID, a Samuel French Off Off Broadway Short Play Festival finalist, is a story about friendship, memory, faith and the unexpected possibility of love after loss. As midnight arrives, Stella's promise begins to make sense: Sometimes it takes two broken hearts to make one whole.
