Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at Garret Storms in WaterTower Theatre's THE SANTALAND DIARIES

By:

Garret Storms will make his WaterTower Theatre debut as David (Crumpet the Elf) in the David Sedaris holiday season comedy The Santaland Diaries, December 13 to 29, 2013, in the Studio Theatre at the Addison Theatre and Conference Centre. Kelsey Ervi, Assistant to the Producing Artistic Director at WaterTower Theatre, directs. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at Storms in costume below!

Ervi's creative team includes Jason Harris (Set Designer), Derek Whitener (Costume Designer), Kenneth Farnsworth (Lighting Designer), Charles Wallace (Props Designer) and Linsey Retcofsky (Stage Manager).

The Santaland Diaries is based on a David Sedaris essay of the same name that appears in Sedaris' 1997 collection "Holidays on Ice." The popular play has been performed at WaterTower Theatre six times (2001-2005 and 2007, 2008).

Based on the true chronicles of David Sedaris' experience as Crumpet the Elf in Macy's Santaland display, this cult classic riffs on a few of Sedaris' truly odd encounters with his fellow man during the height of the holiday crunch. NPR humorist and best-selling author of When You Are Engulfed in Flames, Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, David Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers, and this production has almost become an Addison holiday tradition.

Performance Schedule: Show Run Dates: Friday, December 13 - Sunday, December 29, 2013. Opening Night: Friday, December 13 at 8 p.m. Performances: Wednesdays & Thursdays: 7:30 p.m.; Fridays & Saturdays: 8 p.m.; Saturdays: 2 p.m. (December 21 only); and Sundays: 2 p.m. No performance on Christmas Day. Ticket Prices: Single Tickets: $22 (Wed., & Thurs.) - $27.50 (Fri., Sat., Sun.) at www.watertowertheatre.org or 972-450-6232 or in person at WaterTower Theatre Box Office (Tuesday - Friday, noon to 6 p.m.), Addison Theatre Centre, 15650 Addison Road, Addison, TX.
