Through December 21, 2013 - The Santa Land Diaries at Murphys Creek Theatre - THE SANTALAND DIARIES is a brilliant evocation of what a slacker’s Christmas must feel like. Out of work, our slacker decides to become a Macy’s elf during the holiday crunch. The piece ends with yet another Santa being ushered into the workshop, but this one is different from the lecherous or drunken ones with whom he has had to work. This Santa actually seems to care about and love the children who come to see him, startling our hero into an uncharacteristic moment of goodwill just before his employment runs out. The Santaland Diaries plays Nov.29 – Dec 21 at the Black Bart Playhouse. Visit www.murphyscreektheatre.org/ for more information.
