Interview with Angela Gilbert in Kitsap Sun...
"I was enthralled...
can’t-take-your-eyes-off-it stuff, a seamless combination of
narrative and non-linear storytelling, dance and motion, mime and
superbly chosen music that will have you thinking about it — and
smiling, and just maybe tearing up a little — for weeks afterward...
very powerful and uplifting."
-- Michael Moore, Kitsap Sun

Forget about Rudolph —
Vixen is making the tabloids!
When scandal erupts at the North Pole,
this wickedly tart alternative
to candy-cane cheer packs
a saucy Christmas
punch.
This is a dark, irreverant comedy.
When each of Santa's eight reindeer have their say, watch the
accusations and innuendoes fly! Scandal at the North Pole?
You betcha!

Read our
press release...
Charles Dickens' “Seven Poor Travellers”
was written in 1854
as one of the author's series of twelve
short Christmas stories
that began with “A Christmas Carol.”
“Travellers” is a war story
that speaks eloquently of peace, our
need for forgiveness,
and our need to forgive. Passionate as
always, Dickens
proposes an answer for war — a difficult,
problematic answer
that challenges us to be more courageous
than
the most reckless soldier could ever be.
See the battlefield, smell the wassail, taste the feast,
and feel the anguish in this riveting Christmas
story of redemption, love and forgiveness.
This one-man show is truly Dickens unplugged.
