The Santaland Diaries November 27, 2009-January 10, 2010 | Whisenhunt Stage <a href="http://zachtheatre.org/stages/dave-steakley.html">A word from ZACH's Producing Artistic Director</a> Written by David Sedaris Adapted for stage by Joe Mantello Directed by Dave Steakley Starring Espie Randolph and Meredith McCall <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5csnU-GIT5A" target="_blank">Click here for video from the show.</a> "Ricocheting around ZACH's Whisenhunt Stage, Espie pops among the oversized candy canes, plops into the lap of an audience member or two, and energetically claims the whole space for himself. And, that's just fine because this elf delivers laughs!" -Jeanne Claire van Ryzin, Austin American-Statesman Our little Macy's elf knows a thing or two about faking the Yuletide spirit. But you won't be faking a good time when your sides split during David Sedaris' wickedly funny The Santaland Diaries. Sedaris' comedy tells the real-life story of Sedaris' tour of duty as the elf Crumpet, and what it takes to juggle tots and tottering Santas during a painfully festive time of the year. A laugh 'til you cry evening of merrily subversive entertainment to delight adult audiences. Last year, Espie stopped the show nightly with his hilarious Beyonce dance http://do512.com/event/2009/11/27/the-santaland-diaries http://do512.com/event/2009/11/27/the-santaland-diaries.xml Friday 11/27/09 20091128T020000Z/20091128T020000Z 0 0.0 08:00 PM Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0600 0 FRI http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=2369 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/303327/santaland-diaries_sq_90.jpg ZACH Theatre http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?organ_val=2369 http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/303327/santaland-diaries.jpg 105837 Holiday Heroes For Families and Kids Ages 3 to 7.
