Ringwald presents SANTALAND DIARIES and SEASON'S GREETINGS, 12/14

David Sedaris' delightful anti-holiday double feature The SantaLand Diaries & Season's Greetings makes its annual return to the Ringwald stage for another round of twisted Christmas fun. This year-our 11th annual production-Richard Payton takes over both roles for a limited five- show run.

For one week only, Ringwald fan favorite Richard Payton will be taking on both roles in Sedaris' classic messed-up monologues: the disgruntled department store elf Crumpet inSantaLand and the warm and welcoming matriarch Jocelyn Dunbar in Season's Greetings. This year's all-new production is directed by Dyan Bailey.

Performances will begin Thursday, December 14th and play through Monday, December 18th

Showtimes are Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Monday nights at 8:00 PM, with one Sunday matinee at 5:00PM

Tickets are $20 for Thursday, Friday & Saturday performances; Sunday matinees are $15, Monday nights-as always at the Ringwald-are $10
