The Santaland Diaries

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.

“Contemporary Theatre of Dallas has just the antidote to an overdose of Christmas saccharine ... in the form of one bemused, R-rated elf named Crumpet.”
