A dark, dark Christmas comedy. Scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa’s eight tiny reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment.
As mass media descends upon the event, the other members of the sleigh team demand to share their perspectives, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerges, which seems to implicate everyone from the littlest elf to the tainted Saint himself.
With each deer’s confession, the truth behind the shocking allegations becomes clearer and clearer. …and murkier and murkier.
This show is not recommended for children and those that are easily offended.
Tickets are $15 each, you can purchase online or call ahead at 920-629-1506 to pay by check or cash. Seating is limited, advance purchase is not required but recommended. Don’t wait…

Howard McMahon
Howard is returning to the theater after a brief hiatus. He was active in college , including roles in Peer Gynt, Red Magic, My Fair Lady, and as Ford in the Merry Wives of Windsor. He took some time off to go to Law School, get married, help raise two kids, and before he knew it twenty-five years had passed. His daughter, Sarah, developed her own love for theater. In 2008, she was in a local production of High School Musical. They lost an actor, Howard filled in, and he rediscovered how much he enjoyed being on stage… enough to play a troubled reindeer from a very dark part of the North Pole!

Evan Thornton
Evan says: “The details of my life are quite inconsequential… very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum… it’s breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.”
