Not your father's Father Christmas - The Santaland Diaries at the Rep

[Seaside Rep Theatre]

Seaside Repertory Theatre presents

sponsored by Alys Beach
​

The Rep is thrilled to announce the limited run of the holiday cult classic by David Sedaris, The Santaland Diaries. Adapted for the stage by Joe Montello, the one-man comedy will run Wednesdays - Saturdays, December 13 - 23 at 7:30pm in the Meeting Hall Theatre, 215 Quincy Circle, in Seaside.

Based on Sedaris' own personal experiences, this subversive holiday riff follows the tribulations of "Crumpet," played by Rep veteran Justin Lamb, as he tells of his surreal job as an elf at Macy's in Manhattan.

The Santaland Diaries contains mature themes and is not suitable for children. Tickets are $24 and $20 for members.

The Rep's 2006 Season is sponsored by Design and Design Services of Florida.

This play is hysterically funny! We saw it in Denver.
It definitely is not for little children, but is well worth seeing.
Cil says check it out. And I bet 30-Gay would approve.

David Sedaris is absolutely hilarious! And this holiday story is irreverent and eccentric, both hallmarks of Sedaris. He writes frequently for The New Yorker Magazine and has written several very funny books. He grew up in the South in a very quirky family.

North Carolina, to be exact. I just finished Dress Your Family In Corduroy And Denim. We saw him at a reading in Denver before we left. He's even funnier in person, if that is possible. I just love the guy.
Then there is his sister Amy (from Strangers With Candy). For Christmas, I am giving several friends her book:
I Like You: Under the Influence. It's a pretty wacky book about hospitality, but actually has some good recipes and ideas.

Justin stopped in Fired Up today for a few minutes of conversation...from hearing him describe the show, it should be quite funn!
