What are the responsibilities and job description for the Santa Claus position at Adirondack Railroad?
Overview
The Polar Express Santa is a wise and magical character who spreads Christmas spirit throughout the world. He lies at the center of the story and carries a great importance to all characters within the plot line. Santa is calm, patient, and contemplative while imparting knowledge upon those who truly believe. BELIEVE, the underlying theme of THE POLAR EXPRESS, cannot be properly portrayed without a visit from Santa. The opportunity of each child to meet Santa is one of the most memorable elements in THE POLAR EXPRESS Train Ride.
SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Once Santa has boarded and the train begins its homeward journey, Santa should make his grand entrance into each coach using scripted material directly from the film.
Santa’s delivery is very calculated while his cadence is a bit slower than other characters. This character is more subdued than most traditional impressions of Santa. He should engage passengers in a sincere and mystical manner, making a special impression upon each child in just a few seconds’ time.
