“The Practical Santa”
This 2.5 day weekend class with workshops is taught by 2025 International Santa Claus HALL OF FAME member Doug Eberhart. Doug founded the school in 2020 to help enhance Santa Training for those humble enough to learn.
After nearly 50 years of portraying the character of Santa Claus, Doug wanted to assist those wanting to be a better Santa. This class has had folks with zero experience up to 45 years in the Big Red Chair. YOU WILL LEARN something at this class.
“The Practical Santa” is taught by Doug Eberhart, Rich Lange and Stephen Price. It is in Charlotte, NC each year in the month of March. The sister weekend class is taught in August and is called “The Advanced Santa Studies Class”. Its focus is on more detailed classes on what’s “hot” in the Santa Community.
