Synopsis:

When a down-on-his luck wannabe actor arrives in New York City at the end of the year, the only employment he can find is at Macy's department store - working in Santaland for the holiday season, as a reluctant, but relentlessly cheerful, elf. Newly christened "Crumpet", our clever anti-hero shares his observations of the mayhem in front of and behind the scenes during one chaotic December, from aggressive parents and drunken Santas, to flirtatious actors, poor hygiene, and the racially charged hazards of being a "Pointer Elf." Will Crumpet find a moment of pure Christmas spirit? Will he end up in Santa's cottage with Snowball the elf? Will he escape with his life on Christmas Eve before being torn apart by enraged customers?

Based on his beloved humorous and autobiographical essays, David Sedaris' The Santaland Diaries, adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello, is a wry and witty look at the combination of retail hell and theatrical spectacle that is the holiday season, a sharp, narrowly observed dark comedy. The perfect Christmas treat for grownups, this one-man show has been an annual tradition at theatres across the United States for the past twenty years

Join us for a fun and festive evening of intimate theatre and a Christmas cabaret produced by Wag The Dog Theatre & Swing a Cat Productions! Santaland Diaries performance extends for 60 minutes and we will keep up the festive spirit with a private cabaret show hosted by Victoria Mintey featuring all the Christmas classics! Ticket includes private party admission, specially priced cocktails, prizes and more!
