In november 2002 Stig got called up seven days before the opening of "The
hunt for the Christmas Crook" in Drammens Teater, and asked to take over the
part as Santa Claus. Not a stranger to challenges, even Stig found this to be a
bit on the short side! But, it all worked out well, revues where raving and they
all had a very nice time together up until christmas! So not only did he have a
good time, he made new friends as well! Now, who could ask for anything more
than that?

Santa (Stig Krogstad) is getting ready to distribute some happiness |

Despite threats from the Christmas Crook, the Pipecleanser comes clean |

But he creates a diversion and gets away - and the chase is lead by Ingrid and the elves, with a distressed Santa in tow |

... but a crook can't run for long, and is arrested on teh roof by dad and the policechief |
|

The elves came down from the Northpole.... |

|
|
|

.... and Ingrid believes in Santa again - all's well that ends well! |
