2020 can’t take this beloved annual tradition from us! Again this December, The Post-Meridian Radio Players presented our original adaptation of that 1964 Christmas classic film, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, in which Martians, concerned that their children are bored and listless and don’t want to do anything but watch Earth television programs, kidnap Santa Claus (and a couple of unlucky Earth children) from Earth and bring him to Mars to make toys so their children can be kids again. Can Santa get back to Earth in time for Christmas? Are the children of Mars doomed to a joyless life of food pills and machine-implanted learning? Is that terrifying, huge polar bear going to eat our young heroes? Will Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo show up to heckle? (Hint: No.) Find out for yourself when PMRP performs Santa Claus Conquers the Martians!

This year, of course, Santa and the Martians had to make some adjustments, and our two live performances streamed on YouTube! You can scroll down to watch either one here on this page.
