Scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa's reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment. Artistic Pride Productions brings back their annual production of Eight Reindeer Monologues for five performances only. All performances at Joria Productions, 260 W. 36th street. Tickets can be purchased for just $18 at theeight2014.bpt.me or call 212-252-4076 to make reservations.

After performing in multiple productions of The Eight Reindeer Monologues with Chicago's critically acclaimed Journeymen Theater Co., Artistic Pride Production's Artistic Director, Anthony Wills Jr., brought his take on this hilarious comedy by Jeff Goode to New York audiences. Jack Helbig of The Chicago Reader raved that Journeymen director Frank Pullen makes "this Santa send-up both outrageous and touching" Following in the footsteps of Pullen, Anthony Wills mines the piece for its comedy while keeping the characters real and adding his own dark twist. Now in it's second year, this production is expertly played by a troupe of actors who bring out the often subtle complexity of playwright Joe Goode's characters including Amy Fulgham*, Anna Foss Wilson*, Anthony Wills Jr*, Ben Curtis*, Dani Cervone, Erik Parillo*, James Robinson*, Joe Bowen*, Libya V Pugh*, Maria Silverman*, Meryl Thurston, Michael J. Robinson, Sophia L. Coffee, Stacey Haughton*, Tanesha Ford, Tom Martin* and Tommy Norton. Co-directed by Hal Lehrman and Anthony Wills Jr. Each performance is a new experience with different actors bringing their own takes to each roles every performance.

Sexual misconduct in the work place...drunken Santa....corporate scandal cover up...flying reindeer..and cheap drinks... What better way to spend a night at the theater?

This play will make you laugh, cry and feel sort of icky the next time you see Santa Clause. Each show is completely different and it's so hilariously entertaining you just might want to see it again and again.
