EndTimes Productions Presents 5th Annual Naked Holidays 12/8-31

EndTimes Productions Presents For 5th Annual NAKED HOLIDAYS ** This "Best Of" Edition Moves to Midtown** from December 8 - 31 at Times Square Arts Center.

Attention lovers of non-traditional holiday mischief and merriment: EndTimes Productions presents the 5th Annual NAKED HOLIDAYS beginning December 8th at Roy Arias Stage 4 in the Times Square Arts Center. To celebrate its 5th anniversary, the 2011 edition will offer some of the best of its past seasons, plus more singing, more dancing, and more naked!

NAKED HOLIDAYS is a darkly comic Yuletide bacchanalia, a gleeful pageant filled with indulgent tidings which climaxes in a scantily clad routine that looks a lot like Christmas. This boisterous holiday celebration puts a theatrical spin on some of our best-loved winter traditions. Highlights include:
- "The Annihilator" by Steve Strangio, about X-mas at a professional wrestler's house.
- "Dead-Nosed" by Oliver Thrun, in which Santa's reindeer plot the assassination of Rudolph. A Samuel French short play festival finalist.
- "Fear the Nog" by R.I. Stokes, The North Pole meets Orwell's 1984 with Santa as Big Brother.
- "A Very Special Hanukkah Special" by Mark Harvey Levine, a Jewish-themed spoof of It's A Wonderful Life.
- "The Naked People Play" by Stacy Lane, the traditional Naked Holidays closer.

NAKED HOLIDAYS is directed by Russell Dobular, Matthew Kreiner, Melinda Prom, Robert Gonyo and Leal Vona. The production team includes SeRena Miller (musical director), Tiffany Herriott (choreography), Chris Johnston & Sarah Pencheff (costume design), and Stefan Bensaid (sound design).

NAKED HOLIDAYS stars Alex Dunbar, Leal Vona, Chris Lazzaro, Ian Schultz, Pedro Rezende, Matthew Glogowski, Chris Johnston, Michael Carbonne, Sarah Schoofs, Alinca Hamilton, Sarah Skeist, Veronica Rodell, Samantha Cooper, Sarah Pencheff, Hannah Stone, Patricia Zeccola, Grayson Brannan, SeRena Miller, Kara Addington.
