The Santaland Diaries
A comedy by David Sedaris
Adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello
Directed by Melanie YC Pepe
Before he became a best-selling writer and humorist, David Sedaris worked at Macy's in New York City during Christmastime.
Based on his experiences there, Sedaris wrote a semi-autobiographical monologue, originally for radio, that has since evolved into the one-man play The Santaland Diaries. In keeping with Sedaris’s sardonic and satirical style, The Santaland Diaries is a brilliant
evocation of what a slacker's Christmas must feel like.
