Santaland Diaries - 10th Year

Combined Artform is celebrating ten years with ten performances of Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris and adapted to the stage by Joe Mantello. David Sinaiko puts on his elf hat and boots to return to the Eureka Theatre as everyone's favorite elf, Crumpet. No one captures the craziness of the holidays like David Sedaris. Come see the show that critics and audiences love and keep coming back for more and spend the holidays with Combined Artform at the Eureka Theatre.

Nominated for a SF/Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award for Best Solo Performance.

"deliciously delivered by the talented (and adorable) David Sinaikothe impossible (but true) story becomes all too real. He embodies a youthful exuberance, clear intelligence, and savvy sarcasm. And his strong stage presence whisks the audience away (NOT in a manger) on this wild ride."
- Tom W. Kelly, Bay Area Times

For those not familiar with the Sedaris piece, this production will offer the best opportunity to view what New York Newsday called;

""A sardonic, merrily subversive tale just the antidote to bright-eyed joy before too many shopping days have passed. Worth more than a photo album full of Santas!"

Called by some as "America's premiere humorist", Sedaris creates a brilliant evocation of Christmas as seen from the other side through the eyes of a Macy's elf. Our hero confronts the screaming children, bossy parents, flaky elves, and apathetic Santas with hilarious results!
