Atlantic Stage Theatre Company Opens Holiday Comedy This Week

Atlantic Stage, the only non-profit professional theatre company in the Myrtle Beach area, announces the third production of its 2010 - 2011 season, The SantaLand Diaries by bestselling author David Sedaris, adapted by Joe Mantello, at their 79th Avenue Theatre.

David Sedaris' The SantaLand Diaries chronicles the author’s stint as a disgruntled Christmas elf at Macy*s in New York. It’s the perfect antidote to all the holiday schmaltz.

This hilarious cult classic features comic encounters during the height of the holiday crunch. NPR humorist and best-selling author of Me Talk Pretty One Day and Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, David Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers.

“This production is a great alternative holiday offering that breaks from tradition,” said Thom Penn, artistic director of Atlantic Stage. “Sedaris’ wry and offbeat sense of humor will delight the audience and keep them captivated from beginning to end.”

Performance include 7:30 p.m. shows from Wednesday, Dec. 15 through Saturday, Dec. 18, and a closing performance matinee at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 19.

Single tickets range from $10-$20 at the door and are available at www.atlanticstage.com or by calling the Atlantic Stage box office at 1-877-287-8587. Discounts are available for students, seniors (55+) and the military. Student rush tickets are available for all performances 5 minutes prior to curtain at the box office for $5 (subject to availability). For group discounts, season tickets and flex passes call 1-877-287-8587.
