Lionheart Theatre Doing David Sedaris Holiday Show
The "adults only" show is written by the hysterical NPR contributor and author.
The Lionheart Theatre will present a holiday comedy Dec. 2 to 11, written by “This American Life” contributor and best-selling author David Sedaris, known for his unique brand of dark, self-depricating humor.
“The Santaland Diaries” was one of the first humor essays that Sedaris broadcast on National Public Radio, catapulting him into the spotlight. The story is a hysterical account of Sedaris’ time working as an elf at Macy’s during Christmastime. It was later adapted for the stage.
Sedaris published five series of essays afterward, four of which landed on the national bestseller list.
