EndTimes Productions Presents 4th Annual NAKED HOLIDAYS December 10 - 30 at Ace of Clubs Theater

"Eye-catching... demented... a skit involving Christmas at a professional wrestler's may be the funniest of the year" -- The New York Times

"An evening of sex and silliness...a saucy way to make merry this holiday season...you'll be glad you're along for the ride."-- Back Stage West

Attention lovers of non-traditional holiday mischief and merriment: let nothing dismay you this holiday season. EndTimes Productions will present the 4th Annual NAKED HOLIDAYS beginning December 10th at Ace of Clubs Theater. The 2010 edition promises more singing, more dancing, and more naked!

NAKED HOLIDAYS is darkly comic Yuletide bacchanalia, a gleeful pageant filled with indulgent tidings. Originally conceived by the Sacred Fools Theater Company of Los Angeles, this boisterous holiday celebration puts a comic spin on some of our best- loved winter traditions. It is a multicultural melange which climaxes in a scantily clad routine that looks a lot like Christmas. Highlights include a medley exploring deadly plots by Santa's eight angry reindeer against Rudolph and the lesser-known Rudnick The Reindeer, a traditional Jewish nativity scene, a wholesome dad who hides a suspiciously jolly body bag, and a belligerently randy hooker working the North Pole. The Naked Holidays Orchestra adds a musical flair to the show, and eggnog will be served .

NAKED HOLIDAYS is written by Stacey Lane, Steve Strangio, Leah Dashe, Leal Vona, David Dannenfelser, Steve Lewis, and Eric R. Pfeffinger. It is directed by Russell Dobular, Matthew Kreiner, Kristin Skye-Hoffman, Tony Macy-Perez, Dina Epshteyn and Leal Vona. The production team includes SeRena Miller (musical director), Tiffany Herriott (choreography), Ruthie Stephens (assistant musical director), Emily Woo Zeller (assistant choreographer), Mike Beyrouti (stage manager), Stefan Bensaid (sound design). It is produced by Robert Malloch, Leal Vona and Matthew Kreiner.

NAKED HOLIDAYS stars Christopher Ryan Johnston, Fernando Sousa, Ann Breitbach, HAnna Stone, Alinca Hamilton, Christian Roman, Danielle Catutela, Ruthie Stephens, Alessandro Colla, Sarah Schoofs, Eli Bridges, Becky Sterling, Allexandra Scott, Levi Morger, Victoria Clare, Heather Lee Harper, Alex Dunbar, and Dan Stern.
