The holiday season draws near, so you've surely noticed the typical onslaught of Christmas commercialism has increased about a hundredfold. Lucky for us, the playful costumed noise-pop duo The Bloody Noes - the brainchild of Ian Downey and Mary Lewandowski - will reprise its hit pageant, Santanalia. According to the Noes, ‘tis the season to explore the conception and birth not of a godly babe, but of Santa Claus, who was fathered by the wicked gnome named Economicus. This year's pageant is offered in two showings, on Friday, November 25, and Saturday, November 26, at 8 p.m. at MuCCC (142 Atlantic Ave.)
The variety show tells of the epic battle between greed and generosity, and includes yuletide fire stunts by the Roc City Circus, a special Black Friday honorarium of Economicus, the Ho Ho Horchestra, Left of Center Stage acts, Santanalia carols, and plenty of surprises and holiday cheer, all emceed by Maurice and Nikola "Tedsla." Admission is a suggested donation of $10. For more information, email djcardboard@gmail.com.

This was by far the worst theatrical performance I have ever seen in my life. In a performance that rivaled the skills of a grade school play (but lacked the cuteness), I was often left thinking, "what the hell is this?" The first half of the show was a variety show of sorts that included lame bits about selling knives door to door, bad lip synching, promotion of Occupy politics, and, the highlight of the night, an actor had their cell phone go off, and answered it, during the play. Pretty much my date and I stayed through intermission merely as to not wonder how bad the second half and the Santanalia pageant was going to be. While it was better than the first half, that wasn't a compliment. At the end of the show there was nothing but raucous cheers for the performance, leading me to believe that it was populated with nothing but friends and family members. Either that or they were really, really high and viewed a very different show to the one that I saw. I'm a huge fan of fringe theater, but this show was just an embarrassment to the genre. I will never see another production put on by the Bloody Noes.
