Notes: | created by George Larkin, Stacey Lane, Brad McEntire, Steve Strangio, Benjamin Thornton, Oliver Thrun | |||||
Synopsis: | Originally conceived by the Sacred Fools Theater Company of Los Angeles, Naked Holidays is a darkly comic Yuletide bacchanalia fit for Samson himself. George Larkin's opening is a boisterous reaction to some of the most popular holiday images; delving into the hilarious customs of our best loved winter holidays, and the pagan traditions celebrated nowadays as Christmas. Yet not even the Olympics delivers like this multicultural melange which climaxes in a scantily clad routine that looks a lot like Christmas. This year's medley showcases new works that explore deadly plots by Santa's eight angry reindeer against Rudolph and Rudnick (oh yes, Rudnick), a traditional Jewish nativity scene, a wholesome dad hiding a suspiciously jolly body bag, a belligerently randy hooker working the North Pole, and a bone-crunching table-smashing romp with everybody's favorite rotund holiday hero THE ANNIHILATORRRR*8212;yes, all in one evening of theater. | |||||

Notes: | This 45 minute piece was a collaboration between writer Brad McEntire and musicians Lee Holt and Stuart Grant. | |||||
Synopsis: | Like many stories of Germanic folklore from the Brothers Grimm, Rapunzel is a tale of happiness hard won. Rapunzel is adopted and brought up in loneliness by a wicked old Enchantress, then held captive in a high tower, she meets and is parted from her young prince, and must struggle to find her own place in the world before her troubles are overcome. The tale is valuable to children with the timeless message that faith and character will ultimately win out over hardship and true love will find its happy ending, not to mention a contemporary moral about parent-child relationships with will appeal to older folks alike. With a blend of great music, a witty story line and the magic of show puppetry, this is a show for all ages. | |||||
