The Santaland Diaries 2019

Nov 29 - Dec 29 in Goodman's Albert Theatre

1 hour with no intermission


Strapped for cash, a struggling actor takes a job as “Crumpet the Elf” at Macy’s Santaland—and his hilarious observations are more naughty than nice. Brimming “with [David] Sedaris’ wicked humor” (Chicago magazine), this “sweetly snarky holiday treat“ (Daily Herald) is perfect for those who prefer their eggnog spiked.

Please Note: for mature elves only.

Group Tickets: Now available for 10+, email Groups@GoodmanTheatre.org for information on select discounted rates and perks.
