Something Adult for Christmas this year: eight reindeer dishing the dirt 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.

Scandal has erupted at the North Pole, bringing with it all the lawyers, news crews and assorted scandalmongers that normally converge on any hint of impropriety in a public figure-in this case, old St. Nick himself, who has been accused of sexual improprieties and less-than-saintly behavior, including the rape of Vixen...and then there's the Rudolph incident. Told as a series of monologues by each of the eight reindeer who pull the sled every Christmas eve, the play skewers our tendency to put cultural icons on a pedestal and our fascination when they fall from them, and does so while remaining wickedly funny.
