About the Show

A very dark Christmas comedy for the #MeToo era, "The Eight: Reindeer Monologues" offers commentary on workplace harassment, gender politics, and the magic of Christmas.

Santa's coming...You'd better watch out! Scandal at the North Pole! accusations, rumors, and all-out attacks are (still) flying fast and furious around the toy shop. Santa himself has been accused of sexual misconduct, and those that know him best have been interviewed to give their account of events. Hear about what happened directly from the horse's - or rather, Reindeer's mouth. Warning: This show contains adult content.

Ambitious, Funny, Fluffy, Raunchy

See it if If you like dark comedies. Can be very funny, some falls flat.

Don't see it if If you dont like raunchy humor or dark humoe.

Not quite great eight

See it if To kill time in midtown before going home. Then again, the Times is only three bucks.

Don't see it if You paid more than the price of a cocktail. Bad reindeer, abusive environments. Rather depressing fare. Read more

Topical, Raunchy, Uneven, Dark-comedy, Sophomoric

See it if You're in the mood for a Christmas themed dark comedy and enjoy a little sophomoric dark humor mixed with some serious drama.

Don't see it if You dislike sophomoric humor and puns. There are some pretty well-trod jokes about "sitting on Santa's lap" in there. Read more

Edgy, Great acting, Great writing, Relevant, Funny

See it if You're into topical, socially relevant, theater. Dark, quirky comedy. You enjoy engaging thought provoking plays that also make you laugh.

Don't see it if You are offended by profanity, you don't enjoy seeing the dark side of Santa Clause. Or if you don't like great writing and acting.

“Goode’s structure is creatively simple...Goode’s writing is unabashedly crude, staunchly politically incorrect and often very funny...This production has assembled a terrific group of actors who each bring their distinctive comic skills to these goofy roles...Benvenuti’s smooth staging realizes the material with fine straightforwardness...’The Eight: Reindeer Monologues’ is riotous alternative seasonal entertainment.”
