THE NAKED HOLIDAYS OPENING
This short play, a spoof on all the Christmas plays, first played at Sacred Fools in LA. Check out the reviews below, including one from page one of the LA Times calendar section. Since then, the play has gone up the last three years at EndTimes in New York City to sold out houses and critical raves:
LA Weekly
“George Larkin’s ‘The Naked Holidays Opening,’ directed gleefully by Alexander Yannis Stephano, is the pick of the show. A multicultural melange outlining the contrasting traditions of Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa with a debunking of Christian traditions, climaxing in a semi-clothed chorus line.”
LA Times (from page one of the Calendar Section)
“Most of the clothes come off near the end of George Larkin’s frisky musical introduction, which also establishes that the holidays in question include Hanukkah, Kwanza and solstice celebrations, as well as Christmas. The show pokes fun of its own ethnic non-diversity by enlisting an unwilling white guy (Jeff Benninghofen) to explain Kwanza. Not all of the seven vignettes that follow are especially raw. Nothing else is as good.”
Theatre Mania
"Naked Holidays is a darkly comic Yuletide bacchanalia fit for Samson himself. George Larkin's opening is a boisterous reaction to some of the most popular holiday images; delving into the hilarious customs of our best loved winter holidays, and the pagan traditions celebrated nowadays as Christmas."
