The Holidays are the most magical time of the year, unless you're stuck in the mall on Christmas Eve. PianoFight's "FORKING II: A Merry FORKING! Christmas," penned by Daniel Heath, an emerging playwright on the national scene, chronicles the final hours of the Christmas shopping frenzy through the eyes of a pot-dealing Santa and his cookie-stand partner in crime, a mall security guard on his last legs, a bride-to-be deserted by her would-be fiance, and a bored mortician who's got nothing to do until people get back to the business of dying once the holidays have ended. The fates of these five characters and whether Christmas can be saved for each is left up to the audience who will vote at crucial forks in the plot to determine the final outcome. This December, with 362,880 possible paths through the show, saving Christmas is up to you.

In January of 2009, Heath and PianoFight caused a sensation when they came up with the novel idea of a fully scripted play in which the audience votes on how the plot should progress. The result was "FORKING!" which opened to rave reviews and played to sold out shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles. "FORKING II" will again feature acclaimed composer Arlen Hart who will play his original score live each night. The score, recorded as "A FORKING Album," was produced by PianoFight and New York-based record label SoundVise and is available on iTunes.

This December, in PianoFight's "FORKING II: A Merry FORKING! Christmas," saving Christmas is up to you.
