Stage West - The Naughty List
Presentation: Nov 27 2020 to Dec 22 2020
Co-conceived by Garret Storms and Danielle Georgiou
The lists have been made, but check them twice, because someone's been naughty who should've
been nice! This limited engagement, outdoor live performance is a reimagined coming-of-age
story featuring your favorite holiday icons. With healthy doses of magic, music, and mischief,
this yuletide romp is a flurry-filled race to save the holidays! Stage West is pleased to
present Moonrise Initiative's charming, holiday-themed, and socially-distanced production
of The Naughty List, from November 27 through December 22.
It's shortly before Christmas many years ago, and the annual Nice list is being prepared
by a young, jolly Kris Kringle, while the Naughty list is assembled by his odd, shy
little counterpart - Krampus. As they celebrate the arrival of the holiday season, a
certain name mysteriously appears on a certain list which puts all of Christmas at
stake. Joined by their friends, a snappy Ginger, a saintly Lucy, and a frosty Jack,
the gang must discover how to save the holidays before it's too late. This family-friendly
event is sure to lift your spirits!
The Naughty List is presented as an outdoor experience, on the lawn of the beautiful
and expansive Texas Wesleyan University Mall (1201 Wesleyan St. in Fort Worth). It's the
perfect date-night, family outing, or holiday gift to yourself.
The seating area will have marked and spaced seating sections which will each accommodate
up to six people. Patrons may choose to bring blankets or lawn chairs, with chair seating
behind the blanket seating area (similarly to Concerts in the Garden or Shakespeare in
the Park). The Lobby Café staff will be selling limited refreshments, including hot
chocolate and freshly-baked cookies.
Our ushers, staff and performers will be wearing masks and obeying social distancing
guidelines to ensure safety during the performance. Audience members are likewise
required to be masked, unless they are partaking of concessions.
Moonrise Initiative is a new endeavor which aims to provide innovative ensemble-based
movement performance that seeks to offer solace, wonder, and escape. Their intent is to 1)
advocate for bravery and inquiry by creating art that is relevant and celebrates the
diversity that makes our world dimensional and whole, 2) galvanize artists and audiences
by fostering an imaginative and accessible exchange of ideas that illuminate our shared
humanity, and 3) pursue the craft of storytelling with integrity and curiosity by
prioritizing safety, nurturing exploration, and encouraging quality and excellence.
The Naughty List is co-conceived by Garret Storms and Danielle Georgiou, produced by
Moonrise Initiative, directed by Garret Storms, and choreographed by Danielle Georgiou.
The cast features Amber Marie Flores (last seen at Stage West in First Date) as Ginger,
along with Rai Barnard as Jack, Lauren Kravitz as Lucy, Canali Miller as Nick, and Braden
Raqueño as Cole. Understudies are Nicole Carrano and Zachary Willis. Set design is by
Karlee Perego, costume design by Evan Michael Woods, sound design by David Lanza, and
lighting design by Bryan Stevenson.
The Naughty List will run evenings at 7:00; the show will run a little under an hour.
