Connor Ratliff Presents: The Acting Class — Season 1, Episode 28: SANTACONNOR II

Episode synopsis

December 2025: CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS, live at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City. The 28th in an ongoing series of improvised one-person shows pretending to be real acting classes. For this special SECULAR SANTA EDITION, a fundraiser to benefit Feeding America -- the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization with a network of more than 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs -- professional actor Connor Ratliff was unable to attend, and was replaced by the actual Santa Claus. Or was he? Over the course of 2 hours, you may never learn the answer as to whether you are watching Santa pretending to be Connor or Connor performing the role of "Santa Claus."
