Jeff Goode's darkly comic alternative to the usual holiday fare is set at the North Pole, where things are not only unmerry but downright sordid.

A furor erupts when Santa Claus is accused of sexual harassment by a couple of his reindeer. All eight share thier views and anger about "the fat boy's" alleged behavior. With calculated echoes of news coverage of public figures like Clarence Thomas, Bob Packwood and Michael Jackson, you'll hear from the macho Dasher angry about the fact that a reindeer complained, the feminist Blitzen turning the event into an opportunity to advance her political agenda, and the self-absorbed Prancer, who's renamed himself 'Hollywood' more concerned with the failure of his movie on video than with the fate of one of the alleged victims, Rudolph.

It's a NEW holiday story that's sure to leave you jolly through the holidays and beyond!

They're coming to Club Congress first, on November 19 and 20, and then landing at other stages all around Tucson. Plus, they've got hilarious stories about working at the North Pole in a dysfunctional environment that makes your crazy boss look like a beginner.

Presented by The 2 Bit Players. Admission is free to students with ID. A $5 donation to benefit Circle K is suggested. "The Eight" contains material not suitable for children.

Scandal strikes the North Pole! Santa's using more than a whip to keep his reindeer in line, and some aren't going to stand for it anymore. Come hear their take on life with St. Nick and his wife, Rudolph's treatment of the team, and the salacious scandals that rock Christmas Town! This ain't your regular holiday show...leave the kids at home for this late-night adult comedy.

Back by popular demand!

BCKSEET invites you to ring in the holidays with Jeff Goode's sardonically irreverent The Eight: Reindeer Monologues. This black comedy follows eight disgruntled deer as they unpack Santa's fur-trimmed baggage: presents, intoxication and leather straps.

If the holidays drive you to drink, welcome home.

Salt licks are best enjoyed by 18+; leave the fawns at home.

With a cast of eight strong willed Reindeer, and several actors from Seoul City Improv, this darkly comic tour of the North Pole's sordid underbelly is sure to entertain! MW Productions is a newly formed production company focusing on theater in English for the Ex-pat community in Seoul.

"The Eight: Reindeer Monologues" will run at The Working Stage Theatre, 1516 N. Gardner Ave., W. Hollywood, CA 90046 on Sunday Nov. 30th, 2008 and Sunday Dec. 7, 14 and 21. Open Bar 5:30pm - Curtain 7pm.

Are you looking for something different this holiday season? Tired of Christmas Carol and Gift of The Magi? This is the show for you - eight reindeer dishing about the real Santa. All those rumors you've heard about him and the elves? About Rudolph's little secret? About Vixen's story that was leaked to the press? All true. Yes, the reindeer finally speak up and - believe us - they do NOT hold back! This play is for MATURE AUDIENCES!

SEX. LIES. SANTA . . . Santa is delivering a massive parcel of talent to The Basement this Christmas season. Michael Hurst, Oliver Driver, Antonia Prebble, Claire Chitham, Sarah Wiseman, Shane Bosher, Madeleine Sami, Fleur Saville, Dean O'Gorman, Anna Jullienne and many more will bring The Eight: Reindeer Monologues to life.

This amazing array of established actors will be supported by some of Auckland's hottest new acting talent. 40 actors will alternate over 14 performances turning The Eight: Reindeer Monologues into a huge Christmas cracker surprise - who knows who will pop out on stage next!

Written by Jeff Goode and a sell-out success around the world, The Eight: Reindeer Monologues is not the usual sugar-coated Christmas fare. Instead, audiences are invited to The Basement for some in-your-face seasonal merriment as this dark Christmas comedy sheds new light on Santa and his eight reindeer. Scandal in the North Pole erupts as one of Santa's eight reindeer accuses him of decidedly un-Christmas like behaviour. Forget happy elves and cute smiling reindeer; think instead of Dasher as a rugby jock; Cupid as a gay toy boy and Vixen as a doe with a tale to tell. You won't know who you are going to see perform. And you'll never look at Santa the same way again!

The Eight: Reindeer Monologues is coarse, witty, vulgar and crude and therefore intended for mature audiences only.

Santa Claus may have been spotted kissing mommy, but that brief episode of womanizing was nothing compared to the charges of interspecies sexual misconduct Saint Nick faces in Jeff Goode's The Eight: Reindeer Monologues. An acerbic evisceration of Christmas' many beloved symbols, The Eight places Santa at the center of a media circus after allegations surface from his sleigh-hauling team that his conduct was more naughty than nice. In a series of Behind the Music-style monologues, Dasher, Dancer, Comet, Cupid, Prancer, Vixen, Donner, and Blitzen tell all in this raucous, adult mashup of holiday tradition and TMZ trashiness.

All those rumors you've heard about him and the elves? About Rudolph's little secret? About Vixen's story that was leaked to the press? All true. Yes, the reindeer finally speak up and -- believe us -- they do not hold back!

THE CURTAIN GOES UP FOR NEW THEATER CLUB

Junior Nicolette Pollack, president and founder of the new Theatre Club on campus, has brought together a diverse and energetic group of students into this new student activity, all while carrying a full course load and playing a leading role in a local play, Skyscraper, by David Auburn. Her own interest and involvement in the theater was her motivation to bring back a once beloved student activity to campus Ñ THE THEATER CLUB.

Along with Vice President Lisa Rybak, a junior, Pollack organized a variety of events this year, with different members clustered around their various interests in theater. The first event of the year was a Murder Mystery involving the Italian mob, Al Capone and an investigator with his own mysterious connections. Participants ate a delicious Italian meal as they acted out their parts in the casual atmosphere of the Coal Ben. Though murder ensued, no students were harmed in the making of this play. Close on its heels came the groupÕs first public performance, "The Eight: Reindeer Monologues" by Jeff Goode, a definite twist on the usual story of Santa and his reindeer. Freshmen Dana Montgomery-Gair and Jason Escamilla are working on forming an Improv group as well. Shakespeare Night was held March 27 and involved set scenes as well as an Open Mic option for those who wanted to read an impromptu monologue. The final project for the year was a series of one-act plays, written entirely by students. The club also held a Writing Workshop to help students learn to write monologues. Pollack is pleased with how successful the club has been in such a short period of time and hopes the curtain stays up on this production for years to come.
