THE SANTALAND DIARIES At Virginia Stage Company! Image

This irreverent holiday comedy returns to Virginia Stage for its third go-round on the Wells Theatre stage. Based on the memoir of award-winning comedic author David Sedaris, this one-man show recounts his days as a struggling writer working to make ends meet as one Santa's Elves at Macy's Department Store. Drunken Santas, flirtatious actors, and aggressive parents abound. Enjoy the holiday season with laughter, drink, and merry spirits at the Wells. Only 7 performances!

Virginia Stage Company invites "mature elves only" to a Bourbon Tasting with Ironclad Distillery. Ironclad is a local, family-owned distillery focused on creating authentic bourbon. This is a one night only event, December 19, 2019. Tickets to the Bourbon Tasting are an additional $5.
