The Eight Reindeer Monologues (Studio Connections)

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 business that makes your crazy boss look like a beginner. Dasher (Jeff Robinson) starts with a practically military devotion to being "the leader of The Eight," and Vixen (Laine Peterson) ends the evening of fun with the "truth" about the Giant Media Scandal over rumors of sexual harassment at the Pole. Anyone can use a little black comedy to get over the usual conventional commercial nonsense of the Holidays, and the Eight Reindeer Monologues gives major laughs. These very "human" reindeer come from the crazy office spaces we all have experienced. What's worse: they know the whole truth about poor Rudolf. RES Productions and the Unlikely Theatre bring you eight of the very best actors in Tucson for outrageous and sometimes poignant testimony from reindeer with their own views of Christmas, of Santa and even Mrs. Claus at last year's office party. All directed by the 2007 MAC award winning Best Director in Tucson, Howard Allen.
