STAGE TUBE: Watch Highlights from Castle Craig Players' THE SANTALAND DIARIES

An exclusive first look at the Castle Craig Players production of THE SANTALAND DIARIES by David Sedaris, running through December 13th only!

Long-time Castle Craig veteran Ian Galligan plays our merry misanthrope, recounting the tale of his stint at Macy's Department Store, while CCP's co-founder & artistic director Melanie Del Sole directs.

A struggling young actor takes a job as a Christmas elf at Macy's in New York City, and offers a sardonic, witty, irreverent accounting of elf training, bad Santa's, abusive customers, and humiliating conditions. Adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello, THE SANTALAND DIARIES is based on Sedaris' semi-autobiographical recount of his days in candy cane tights and curly toed shoes. Packed with witty, dry insights into crass commercialism, THE SANTALAND DIARIES is welcome antidote to the schmaltz of the season.

THE SANTALAND DIARIES will be presented for four performances only - December 10-13 (Thursday, Friday & Saturday at 8pm, Sunday at 2pm) at The Almira F. Stephan Memorial Playhouse, 59 West Main Street, Meriden, CT. Tickets are $15, and seating is extremely limited! Tickets may be purchased online at www.CastleCraig.org or over the phone by calling toll-free 1-800-838-3006.

Presented Cabaret Style with table seating, patrons are invited to bring their own dinner, drinks and snacks to enjoy! Come decked out in your UGLIEST CHRISTMAS SWEATER! Prizes will be awarded!
