The Santaland Diaries and Seasons Greetings

Ocean Beach Playhouse and Arts Center
4944 Newport Ave San Diego

Craving a little splash of vodka in your Christmas cheer? Prefer watching Bad Santa over It's a Wonderful Life? David Sedaris sympathizes. In 1992, the now-famous humorist wrote an autobiographical essay about being broke and working as an elf at the massive Macy's department store in NYC. The essay was adapted into a one-man show, and it's now a bonafide anti-holiday classic. So if you need a break from a crazy family, mall madness or cloying carols, head straight to Ocean Beach Playhouse in San Diego for a heaping dose of holiday hilarity with The Santaland Diaries and Sedaris' companion piece, Season's Greetings -- a "sardonic, merrily subversive" (Newsday) one-woman comedy about a housewife writing her annual Christmas letter after a less-than-stellar year.
