Saint Ayatollah After the End of the World was a new wave holiday pageant that featured Hank Bull, Kate Craig, Andy Graffiti, Glenn Lewis, Emmy MacKenzie, Annie Moss, Brian Mulvihill (Trolley Bus), Andrew James Paterson, Mary Ready, Su Schnee, and Michael Wonderful. The performance told the story of Ayatollah, who, disguised as one of the three wise men, absconds with the Dog in the Manger and sings "Santa's got a Brand New Bag."
