SANTALAND DIARIES to Play Roxy Regional Theatre's theotherspace, 12/8-16
By: Tyler Peterson
Have yourself a cynical little Christmas ... David Sedaris' hilarious one-man show THE SANTALAND DIARIES plays the Roxy Regional Theatre's theotherspace for four nights only, December 8 - December 16.
In Joe Mantello's adaptation of Sedaris' acclaimed satirical essay, Ryan Bowie stars as an out-of-work actor who 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 cynical, occasionally taking out his frustrations on the children and parents alike. In time, however, his bitterness turns to bliss as he experiences the miracle called Christmas. Due to language and content, THE SANTALAND DIARIES is recommended for mature audiences. This production is made possible in part through the generous support of Jill Eichhorn & Barry Kitterman. THE SANTALAND DIARIES is presented in theotherspace, the 50-seat black-box theatre located upstairs at the Roxy, and plays at 7:00pm on December 8, 9, 15 and 16. Tickets are $15 and may be reserved online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at (931)645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9:00am to 2:00pm, Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to curtain).
