The Everyman Rep's 2013 season starts off early in the year, thanks to the MCF grant, with The Eight Reindeer Monologues by Jeff Goode, a complete antidote to virtually any other Christmas show out there. The show will be presented on 4, 5, and 6 of January at the Center for Maine Contemporary Art in Rockport. Evening shows will be at 7pm with a Sunday matinee at 2.30pm. “People will have been running around like turkeys with their heads cut off during the entire Christmas period, then this weekend turns up and hopefully everyone will be thinking: “Oh, boy, what are we going to do now?” and there we'll be with this absolutely hilarious show.

We are hard at work organizing our first full production in NYC, The Eight Reindeer Monologues!!

Helpless female or lying Vixen! You've heard the allegations she's made, the rumors about Jolly old St. Nick and poor little deformed Rudolph who's now in an institution. Well now hear the real story from the reindeer themselves....

A hilarious comedy by Jeff Goode where the reindeer give their opinions of Vixen's allegations that Santa made more than inappropriate advances at her starring an amazing troupe of actors... Ben Curtis, Matthew Hardy, Stacey Haughton, Anthony Wills Jr. and a plethora of rotating guests including Ryan Duncan, Anna Wilson, Craig Zisel, Thomas Martin and more!!!!!

Finally... something different for Christmas! 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 it - they do not hold back! Some mature themes.

10th and FINAL year!

After ten years... accusations, rumors and all-out attacks are still flying fast and furious around the toyshop. Hear the truth straight from the reindeer who know Santa best. When a doe says “No”, she means “No.”

To commemorate a decade of raunchy un-holiday fun, we are bringing back some of your favorite reindeer to reprise their roles one last time!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!”

It's not all fun and games at the North Pole this year. It looks like Santa's been naughty, not nice, and the reindeer have something to say about it. As each of their stories is heard, a tale of perversion and corruption begins to unfold. Was Rudolph's unprecedented promotion entirely innocent? Is Santa really as jolly as we're lead to believe? Are Vixen's allegations against Santa true, or is she the real Grinch who stole Christmas?

The Eight Reindeer Monologues is a dark comedy by American playwright Jeff Goode, and your chance to see a real Christmas story.

Vixen has accused Santa of sexual harassment. Now, all of the reindeer give their account of what they think happened...including Cupid, the openly gay reindeer, Blitzen, the militant lesbian reindeer, Dancer, the Jewish reindeer, Vixen, herself and many others...A fun alternative to the usual Holiday shows!

Join Kutumba Theatre Project for a Naughty Holiday Extravaganza! ...with a staged reading of THE EIGHT REINDEER MONOLOGUES directed by Kim Ehly (Director of The Beebo Brinker Chronicles and Baby Girl).

The Return of THE EIGHT Reindeer Monologues

presented by DragStrip Courage

Santa had always been pretty fair with Dancer, and Comet thinks he's a saint... But as rumour circulates about what really happened to Rudolph, “The 8” begin to uncover the cracks in the icing on that Jolly old Santa legend.

Finally after three or four years this irreverent dark comedy is back on stage at The Hall 1531 Tyler Avenue 92103!

Are you looking for something different for Christmas this year? Tired of Christmas Carol and Gift of the Magi? Well, this is the comedy 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 they do not hold back!

Geared for adults only this play brings to the forefront the reindeer who pull the jolly mans sleigh!

The elite eight reindeer gather to give their opinions on a rather sensitive debate involving Santa and one member of his team.

TAP is putting on a Winter Senior Show!

This isn't the Santa you've come to know and love. But don't take our word for it; come hear it straight from the, er, Reindeers' mouths. All those rumors about him and the elves? And Rudolph's little secret? And Vixen's scandalous story? Yes, the reindeer finally speak up -- and they don't hold back! This is a no-hooves-barred, reinless romp through the North Pole, as each of “The Eight” takes a turn on the stage to tell their own side of the story.

This dark, adult comedy will have you rolling in the aisles during the show, and discussing the topical issues it stirs up over drinks later.

A cross between Scrooged and The Accused, THE EIGHT offers a Christmas alternative to those adults looking for something just a little different, and a lot more grown up, this holiday season as the eight reindeers who pull Santa's sleigh every year are called to bear witness to the reputation and innocence (or not) of their employer. On paper, this is a frightfully cynical exercise in besmirching the reputation of the jolly fat man in the red suit. In performance, it is a series of eight very hysterical and very poignant monologues that aim to explore the nature of cover-ups, and which bring into question the value of speaking out when remaining silent might be better for the greater good.

Have some holiday fun with Carroll Community College Drama Club's Reindeer Monologues on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 2 and 7 p.m.

Christmas is about to get gayer with Homo for the Holidays, a cabaret from the fine folks at Intrepid Theatre that celebrates the talents of the local theatre and gay communities and brings them together for a special one night only performance.

The intimate setting of the Intrepid Theatre Club plays host to this festive and spirited cabaret performance with songs, monologues, stand-up and more. After the show, we transform the theatre into a speakeasy and dance hall and toast to the season (because it's the gayest of all!) Doors open at 7:30, tickets are $20 and include your first drink. 19+ only.

Performers include Diana Kuch, Shel Suzuki, Izad Etemadi, Jason Fisher, Monica Ogden, Kathryn Taddei, Joey Bulman, Alan Macdonald and Sean Guist.

ANNOUNCING THE SHOW LINEUP & PERFORMERS!

Host Jenson Kerr (who you might remember as our hardworking summer intern) will take you by the hand and guide you through this charming and glitter-free evening of holiday fun.

Local stand-up talent abounds in HOMO for the Holidays. Diana Kuch tears up the stage with her holiday musings and take on the new queer-positive alphabet with Is Tofurkey the New Humous? Shel Suzuki presents her trademark brand of observational stand-up in Queers of Comedy and Nancy Mergen gives us an insider’s take on lesbian dating sites with Duh-ating.

Izad Etemadi brings Leila to the stage with her haunting rendition of Love with Leila – Oh Holy Night, as she remembers waking up in the middle of the night to her home being bombed.

The local neighborhood “Kid Psychic” Sam and her best friend Shyface, returning from their debut at the Belfry’s Spark Festival 2013, present a brief gay history of the world as we know it for their third grade class; they present their findings on gay bullying in A Gay History of the World, performed by Monica Ogden and Kathryn Taddei.

Versatile performers and classically trained vocalists Alan Macdonald and Joseph Bulman will delight with their take on Baby, it’s Cold Outside, while Rachel Sinnott sparkles with the witty tale of George in a show-stopping piece by William Bolcom.

Meet Cupid, (not) the only gay reindeer in this monologue from Jeff Goode’s The Eight: Reindeer Monologues performed by Intrepid staffer and cabaret director Sean Guist.

See you at the theatre for a gay ole time. Tickets are limited so act fast!

Mark Miller and Ava Burton team up for an atypical telling of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, returning to BC Space Thursday, Dec. 19, for a one night show.
