Boulder Ensemble Theater Adds Extra Shows For THE SANTALAND DIARIES

The SantaLand Diaries by David Sedaris. Adapted by Joe Mantello, Directed by Rebecca Remaly

This year, a new recipe for Holiday Hilarity comes to Boulder! We start with Sedaris' true story of working as an Elf at the Macy's flagship store in New York City. Add returning guest artist and popular local actor Geoffrey Kent. Sprinkle in inherent cynicism, gleeful wickedness, and an elf outfit. Bake at 420°.

You'll wonder how you survived the holidays before BETC's The SantaLand Diaries!

About BETC:

Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company (BETC) arose in 2005 as Oddball Players with our inaugural production, An Evening of Plays. In our first full season as BETC, we presented two productions: Anouilh's Antigone, and two one-acts by Tony and Pulitzer winner John Patrick Shanley, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea and Savage in Limbo. Additionally, we presented Week #22 of the world premiere of Suzan-Lori Parks' 365 Days / 365 Plays.

Season 2 featured Tennessee Williams' American masterpiece, The Glass Menagerie, the austere and thought provoking Copenhagen by Michael Frayn, and the madcap, sidesplitting comedy, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged). Our production of Danny and the Deep Blue Sea was honored with a 2007 Denver Post Ovation award nomination for Best Drama, and Complete Works was recently nominated for the 2008 Ovation Best Comedy Award.

Season 3 began with the Regional Premiere of Neil LaBute's Fat Pig and continued with Stop Kiss by Diana Son. Last season concluded with the World Premiere of Morisot Reclining by acclaimed local playwright, William C. Kovacsik. Morisot Reclining was recognized with a Best New Play Nomination as part of the 2009 Colorado Theatre Guild Henry Awards.
Season 4 began with the Regional Premiere of Cormac McCarthy's The Sunset Limited. This season will continue with The SantaLand Diaries and conclude with Sarah Ruhl's The Clean House.
