What do you get when a disgruntled out-of-work actor takes a job as an Elf at Macy’s during the holidays? THE SANTALAND DIARIES - the wickedly funny, sarcastic, and decidedly un-politically correct one-man show based on the story by beloved NPR humorist David Sedaris, and featuring Ian Galligan as Crumpet!

Go deep into the heart of Christmas as it exists in our consumerized world and get your holiday in high gear with this sardonic, witty, irreverent accounting of elf training, bad Santa’s, abusive customers, and humiliating conditions - and proves that Christmas brings out the best (and worst) in all of us!

“…the perfect antidote to sugar-coated holiday productions!” -The New York Times
