The Santaland Diaries

CPT presents the return of The Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris, Adapted by Joe Mantello, Directed by Dan Kilbane, featuring Sean Booker as Crumpet the Elf. The Santaland Diaries will be presented in the Gordon Square Theatre from November 28 - December 20 (Preview November 28, Opening Night: Saturday, November 29).


The elf is back by popular demand! The Santaland Diaries is told from the perspective of a 33-year-old slacker who takes a job as Crumpet, a Macy's Christmas elf. As thousands of customers come through his display, our elf teaches parents and children the realities of holiday cheer. Sedaris' hilarious retelling of his unique experience in the throes of the holidays is sure to bring a smile to even the grouchiest face!

Cabaret Tables will be available – reserve yours for only $20 per party, which includes table service and corkage fees.

Please note: The Santaland Diaries features Wednesday performances, curtain at 8:00pm.

Please note: The Santaland Diaries is recommended for older teens and adults only due to some adult language!

Stick around after performances on Friday and Saturday evenings and enjoy a free presentation of The Red Human-Headed Bull, written and performed by Eric Alleman. It's our gift to you this holiday season! Click here for more information on this solo performance piece!
