ACT I: THE SANTALAND DIARIES

by DAVID SEDARIS
Adapted for the stage by JOE MANTELLO
Directed by Steven Fogell
Performed by Tim Davidson

Based on the outlandish, and true, chronicles of David Sedaris’ experience as Crumpet the Elf in Macy’s Santaland display, this hilarious cult classic features comic encounters during the height of the holiday crunch. NPR humorist and best-selling author of When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, David Sedaris has become one of America’s pre-eminent humor writers.

REVIEWS

"THE SANTALAND DIARIES is quite possibly the thirty-one funniest pages of text published in the past quarter century…David Sedaris slays me." — Seattle Weekly

"A caustic mix of J.D. Salinger and John Waters." — Publishers Weekly

"A delightfully thorny account of working as a Yuletide elf at Macy's. Priceless observations, both outrageous and subtle. Destined to hold a place in the annals of American humor writing." — NY Times

"A sardonic, merrily subversive tale—just the antidote to bright-eyed joy before too many shopping days have passed. Worth more than a photo album full of Santas!" — NY Newsday

"A satirical brazenness that holds up next to Twain and Nathanael West." — The New Yorker

"A subversively cynical, misanthropic wit!" — Time Out
