The Santaland Diaries

Contemporary Theatre of Dallas presents The Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris, adapted by Joe Mantello and diected by Coy Covington.

A hilarious, sardonic comedy written by NPR humorist and best-selling author David Sedaris, chronicles his true-life experience as an out of work slacker taking a job as Crumpet the Elf at the SantaLand display in Macy’s Manhattan. The play recounts outrageous tales of encounters with frenzied holiday shoppers during the height of the holiday crunch. This priceless one-man show has become a national cult-classic and will star Dallas’ own Nye Cooper in the lead role. You’ll want to leave the kids at home for this one – we give SantaLand Diaries an “R” rating.
