Write a commentThe holidays are tough on everyone. The hustle, the bustle... so much to do...so little time! People to see - unrealistic expectations - and of course, bitter disappointments. We've just had our first snowfall and already we're hearing the murmurs of holiday dread! Well, folks, if you find yourself with any of these grievances, any at ALL: fear not! You are not alone! The inhabitants of the North Pole feel your pain!
Santa's reindeer are getting REAL in this satirical journey through the holiday season - offering their own dark, witty and painfully honest exposés about the North Pole, Santa and most notably: the *human* condition. They share ALL the dirty laundry - from simple gossip, outright jealousy, denied abuse, chaotic family dysfunction and a wide variety of mental illness.
The ultimate in smart-ass holiday entertainment for adults, this play will make you laugh, cry and even squirm in your seat. The Eight: Reindeer Monologues is a "sometimes shocking R-rated satire with a deadly serious message about sexual harassment and abuse of power by widely beloved authorities". (Fort Worth Weekly)
So don't let the bright & shiny cast of characters fool you... there's a lot of grit and complicated truths under the surface here and they won't step off their soapboxes til' the fat man starts to sing!
Portraying the Infamous Eight are local veteran actors Matt Gordon, Liam Fitzpatrick, Jennifer Pearson, Moe Harrington, Nicholas MacLane, Jodi Bova-Mele, Brian Pringle and Stephanie Johnson!
The Eight: Reindeer Monologues by Jeff Goode, directed by Jordan Westfall, opens on December 4th at the Kallet Theater and runs again on December 7th at Bistro 197 and December 10th at The Eis House! Take a night out to commiserate with Santa's "faithful" crew and really explore the more visceral side of the holiday season. Theatre Du Jour always delivers (just like Santa!) the best local talent & the best local cuisine... music & cocktail hour, photo booth and great prizes from JP Jewelers!
