The Santaland Diaries closes out its run this week as the first show in the Players Inaugural Winter Season. Christmas fans and Grinches alike will find the perfect cure for holiday madness in the side-splitting and irreverent The Santaland Diaries. Best-selling author David Sedaris chronicles his outlandish and truly misguided stint as "Crumpet" - one of Macy's Santaland elves. It's the most wonderful time of the year, if Crumpet can survive the bad Santas, naughty elves, cranky kids, and pushy parents. This brilliant behind-the-scenes send-up of everything we love and loathe about Christmas, illuminates the insanity of the holidays, and the resilience of the human spirit.
