More About

The stage adaptation of David Sedaris' contemporary Christmas comedy classic, The Santaland Diaries,/B>, returns for its spectacular sixth season, this time in the Studio Theatre of the Addison Theatre Centre. Ted Wold fills Crumpet's tiny, bell-toed booties and relives the tales of Sedaris' brief employ as a department store elf at Macy's. Next door, the Happy Holi-divas! promise to shake some seriously sassy season's greetings all over the ATC Main Stage. These lovely ladies are fully prepared to "shake, rattle and roll [you] down Santa Claus Lane" and then "put the yuletide groove in your heart." This is not to be confused with Happy Holi-Falco, a show that purports to "rock [you] like Amadeus down Santa Claus Lane" and then "rock the yuletide groove in you like Amadeus." WaterTower Theatre presents Happy Holi-divas! and The Santaland Diaries through December 23 at the Addison Theatre Centre, 15650 Addison Road. Holi-divas! previews 7:30 p.m. Thursday and opens 8 p.m. Friday with regular performances at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays, 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. The Santaland Diaries previews 8 p.m. Thursday and opens 7 p.m. Friday with regular performances at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays and 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $20 and $30. Call 972-450-6232 or visit watertowertheatre.org.
