The Ringwald's Anti-Holiday Treat Makes Annual Appearance!

The Ringwald Theatre is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Production of their beloved holiday classic, The Santaland Diaries and Season's Greetings by David Sedaris, adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello, December 16-22, 2016.

THE SANTALAND DIARIES is a brilliant evocation of what a slacker's Christmas must feel like. Out of work, our slacker decides to become a Macy's elf during the holiday crunch. At first the job is simply humiliating, but once the thousands of visitors start pouring through Santa's workshop, he becomes battle-weary and bitter.

SEASON'S GREETINGS introduces us to Jocelyn Dunbar who is composing her annual holiday newsletter for family and friends. We quickly realize, however, that Jocelyn's year has not been filled with good tidings and cheer.

As in past years, Brandy Joe Plambeck performs The Santaland Diaries, while Joe Bailey performs Season's Greetings.

Both pieces are directed by Jamie Richards.

Showtimes for The Santaland Diaries and Season's Greetings are:

• Friday, December 16 8PM $20

• Saturday, December 17 8PM $20

• Sunday, December 18 3PM $15

• Monday, December 19 8PM $10

• Tuesday, December 20 8PM $10

• Wednesday, December 21 8PM $10

• Thursday, December 22 8PM $10
