Santa himself is back at the top of the naughty list this year as Dysfunctional Theatre Co. continues a new holiday tradition. Following its critically acclaimed, sold out run in 2005, the “comedy that puts the X in Xmas” (Time Out New York ) is back for its second year! It's another chance to see the tragic tale of how sex, alcohol, pedophilia and rampant bestiality threatened the very existence of Christmas.
Screaming, crying and WAY too much eggnog... isn't that what Christmas is all about? |
