Reindeer revolt in post-Thanksgiving respite at Roxy Theatre's theotherspace
Sunday, November 22, 2009; Posted: 09:11 AM - by Jeffrey Ellis
Eight reindeer with a serious bone to pick with a not-so-saintly Mr. Claus will take over the Roxy Regional Theatre's theotherspace for two performances post-Thanksgiving of Jeff Goode's The Eight: Reindeer Monologues.
Scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa's eight tiny reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment. As media types descend upon the scene, the other members of the sleigh team demand to share their perspectives of the situation. With each reindeer's confession, the truth behind the shocking allegations becomes clearer and clearer...and murkier and murkier.
Directed by Brendan Cataldo, The Eight: Reindeer Monologues features Alicia Kelly, Drew Torkelson, Adam Kurtz and Humberto Figueroa. The dark Christmas comedy plays two nights only - Firday, November 27, and Saturday, November 28, at 8 p.m. in theotherspace, the 50-seat black box theatre located upstairs at Clarksville's Roxy Regional Theatre.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at (931) 645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9 a.m.-2 p.m. weekdays). Due to strong language and sexual content, this production is strongly recommended for mature audiences.
