Eight Reindeer Monologues
Man in red suit is suspect.

Nancy Caine

When a doe says "no," she means "no." And with that admonition in mind, Santa Claus is charged with sexual harassment in the North Pole in 'The Eight Reindeer Monologues.' This funny black comedy, a regional premiere, offers a different twist on the candy cane climate of the season, with the thoughts of eight angry reindeer vented on stage. As each of the publicity-drunk four-leggeds tells what they know or don't know about what happened to Vixen, Santa is alternatively proclaimed a savior or denounced as a "holly jolly sex crime waiting to happen." In this piece written by Jeff Goode, the audience sees each of Santa's hoofed critters confess the truth behind the shocking allegations.
