David Sedaris’ “The Santaland Diaries” Offers Cynical Look at Holidays
Clarksville, TN – 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 8th – December 16th.
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.
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 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th. Tickets are $15.00 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).
The Roxy Regional Theatre is located at 100 Franklin Street in Clarksville, TN.
