The Alley Theatre presents David Sedaris’ irreverent holiday comedy The Santaland Diaries. By David Sedaris. Adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello. Directed by David Cromer. Previews start Nov. 21, 2010. Opens Nov. 23, 2010. Ends Dec. 31, 2010. Neuhaus Stage.

Company Actor Todd Waite will reprise his role as “Crumpet the Elf” in the outlandish, and true, chronicles of David Sedaris’ experience as a worker in Macy’s SantaLand display. This compact, one-character comedy has been described as "a dream rendition at the Alley Theatre, courtesy of the ideally cast Todd Waite" by the Houston Chronicle.

The Santaland Diaries is an hilarious cult classic, featuring comic encounters during the height of the holiday crunch. NPR humorist and best-selling author of 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.

Recommended for mature audiences due to language and subject matter.

This play is a subscription add-on.
