Casting Announced For THE SANTALAND DIARIES At Playhouse On Park

David Sedaris' THE SANTALAND DIARIES begins performances at Playhouse on Park on December 4, and will run through December 21. This one-man play has "a satirical brazenness that holds up next to Twain and Nathanael West" (The New Yorker).

This outrageous holiday comedy stars David, who recounts his true-life tale of being an out-of-work writer doing a stint as a Macy's department store elf. His encounters, as an Elf during the season of forced joy, are exactly the antidote for those in need of an escape from those holiday stresses and blues. A delightfully absurd look at the commercial Christmas season, Sedaris' sharp and hilarious observations have rapidly become one of the nation's most popular holiday shows.

Sam Massaro (David): Playhouse on Park Debut! Bedlam Theatre: Claudius/others HAMLET, Cauchon/others SAINT JOAN, Ethan KIND MAN; Denizen Theatre: Robert ADAPTIVE RADIATION; Film: Antonin Scalia VICE.

Tickets for performances December 4 - 21 are now on sale for $25 each, reserve seating. Student, Senior, and Let's Go Arts discounts are available. There will be a complementary pre-show wine and cheese reception on Friday, December 6.
