Actor, playwright, and musician Ben Asaykwee brings his beloved and misunderstood ProZack the Sad Elf to The Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre from Dec. 2 - 23.
The North Pole's saddest elf is in for a big surprise. His annual dark poetry reading in the break room of the toy workshop is being transformed into a glitzy, happy, holiday musical much to his horror. Join ProZack and a slew of his misfit friends as they battle to defend their somberness in this hilarious, and playfully irreverent, one man show featuring creator and performer Ben Asaykwee.
