The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) is pleased to announce a limited engagement of award-winning humorist David Sedaris' The SantaLand Diaries. Back after a season-long hiatus, on the heels of two previous smash-hit runs, Crumpet the surly Macy's Christmas elf is once again in his element - a crass, commercial winter wonderland - and spewing his special brand of unconventional holiday humor. Gamm Resident Actor Steve Kidd reprises his role as Crumpet in the retelling of Sedaris' comic monologue, adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello and directed by Gamm Resident Actor Christopher Francis Byrnes.

The SantaLand Diaries runs from December 10-27 only at The Gamm Theatre, 172 Exchange St., Pawtucket, RI. Tickets are $25 and $30 (depending on day/time) with deep discounts for groups of 10 or more. Call 401-723-4266 or buy tickets online at gammtheatre.org.

Play Synopsis
From award-winning humorist, playwright and National Public Radio contributor David Sedaris, a dose of unconventional holiday humor. The author's real-life experiences as a Macy's Christmas elf named Crumpet - including humiliating job interview, elf indoctrination, run-ins with miscast Santas, pushy parents and a host of oddball characters - are merrily subversive and fall-on-your-knees funny!

Groups of 10 or more: $20
