THE SANTALAND DIARIES and THE 12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS
Presented by New Edgecliff Theatre
Nov. 29-Dec. 8
Downtown

Local media coverage: WVXU interview |

Everyone’s favorite elf Crumpet, the elf fixated on spastic children, obnoxious parents, nutty co-workers and, oh yeah, One Life to Live, is back in our alternative holiday favorite! Then, in THE 12 DATES OF CHRISTMAS: what happens when Mary sees her fiancé making out with his co-worker on national TV at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade? She dumps him and then spends the next year being set up, hooked up, strung up, and fed up as she navigates her life “alone” as a New York actor in her thirties.
