The Santaland Diaries by humorist David Sedaris
Adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello
Directed by Phil Jordan
Starring David Gignac

Think you're stressed out during the holidays? Try being one of Santa's helpers.  Turns out being surrounded by children, tinsel and merriment isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Author and humorist David Sedaris wrote about the downsides of holiday joy in a collection of fanciful stories based on his experiences called the Santaland Diaries. Sedaris essay about a somewhat-flawed Macy's department store elf named Crumpet, a foul mouthed minion to a department store Santa will leave you laughing!

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Whidbey Island Center for the Arts would like to begin by acknowledging that we gather on the ancestral homelands, originally known as Tscha-kole-chy (SHA-KOL-CHI) in Lushootseed (LU-SHOOT-SEED), of the Coastal Salish Peoples, on the lands of the lower Skagit, Tulalip (tuh·lay·luhp), Swinomish (SWIN-ə-mish), Snohomish (snō-hō-mish), Stillaguamish (still-uh-GWAH-mish), and Suquamish (soo-kwah-mish), who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial and have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands.

We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.

Please join us in expressing our deepest respect and gratitude to the indigenous people of this territory and for their enduring care and protection of the land in which we currently occupy and share through the Treaty of Point Elliott signed by 82 tribes in Múckl-te-óh (Mukilteo) on January 22, 1855.
