Santaland Diaries is a sardonic, irreverent holiday tale of Crumpet, the grumpiest elf at Macy’s in New York at Christmastime. What began as a way for an out-of-work writer to pay the bills, quickly becomes an absurd and hilarious quest through the trials and tribulations of a middle-aged elf dealing with cynical Santas, greedy children and their harried parents.

Adapted by Joe Mantello from humorist David Sedaris’ essay, this acclaimed, one-man’s sharp-witted retelling of his holiday debauchery is suitable for mature audiences.
