Preview of 'The Santaland Diaries' at Playhouse on Park

Tickets for performances December 4 – 21 are now on sale for $25 each. All seats must be reserved.

THE SANTALAND DIARIES at Playhouse on Park WEST HARTFORD – David Sedaris’ THE SANTALAND DIARIES begins performances at Playhouse on Park on December 4. This one-man play has “a satirical brazenness that holds up next to Twain and Nathanael West" (The New Yorker).


This outrageous holiday comedy stars Crumpet, who recounts his true-life tale of being an out-of-work writer doing a stint as a Macy’s department store elf. His encounters, as an Elf during the season of forced joy, are exactly the antidote for those in need of an escape from those holiday stresses and blues. A delightfully absurd look at the commercial Christmas season, Sedaris’ sharp and hilarious observations have rapidly become one of the nation’s most popular holiday shows.

Tickets for performances December 4 – 21 are now on sale for $25 each. All seats must be reserved. Student, Senior, and Let’s Go Arts discounts are available. There will be a complementary pre-show wine and cheese reception on Friday, December 6.
