<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">About the play: It’s Christmas morning, and hard-partying action film star Jake Daniels wakes up to a pile of presents. The biggest surprise? A secret intervention by Santa and <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">her</SPAN></I> Elves and a forced stay at Miracle Malibu rehabilitation center, where a former boy band singer, a Hollywood agent, a country rock star, a children’s TV show host, and a rap star comprise Jake’s group session team. Of course, the roving men’s choir and the clinic staff, who don’t seem much more together than the clients, add to the dark fun of this look at the lighter – and darker – sides of celebrities in rehab. (Is that redundant?) Come share this satirists’ anonymous meeting at the Holiday edition of the Dark Room.</SPAN></FONT></P>
