CRUMPET'S BACK!!! After a sold-out run last December, Frank Theatre has invited Crumpet back to perform THE SANTALAND DIARIES, the stage adaptation of David Sedaris’ hilarious account of his stint as a Christmas elf in Macy’s “SantaLand” ! The show will run Nov. 25-Dec. 30 at
The Assembly Theater @ The Woman's Club of Minneapolis
The Theatre is located at 407 West 15th Street, Minneapolis. If you're attending an event at the Theatre, enter the building on West 15th Street, the street that runs along the south side of Loring Park. SEE MAP.
The production features Twin Cities actor Joe Leary as “Crumpet the Elf,” with scenery by Steve Rohde, costumes by Kathy Kohl, lighting by Mike Wangen and sound by Sarah Pickett with assistance from Katharine Horowitz. Frank Theater Artistic Director Wendy Knox directs the production.
SANTALAND DIARIES is a delightfully absurd look at the commercial underbelly of the holiday season. Sedaris’ sharp observations about his encounters as an Elf during the season of forced joy have become a delightful cult classic for those looking for a comic antidote to Christmas treacle. David Sedaris is the New York Times best-selling author and National Public Radio humorist known for his essays Me Talk Pretty One Day, When You Are Engulfed in Flames and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim.

“If you're looking for holiday entertainment that's more tart than treacly, more snarky than sweet, prepare to make merry at Frank Theatre's "The Santaland Diaries"…This lively production, under the direction of Wendy Knox, has a wonderfully cartoon-like look, complete with Steve Rohde's recreation of Santaland and Kathy Kohl's gaudy elf costume, including curly-toed shoes. ..Joe Leary does a stellar job with the variety of characters that inhabit this play, embodying some particularly amusing Santas, over-wrought parents and freakish coworkers.” –StarTribune
