Looking for a different take on the holidays? Then you won't want to miss "The Santaland Diaries" by David Sedaris, this Friday evening at Chandler.

Strapped for cash, a struggling actor takes a job as "Crumpet the Elf" at Macy's Santaland. His hilarious observations are more naughty than nice. Brimming with Sedaris' wicked humor, this snarky holiday tale is perfect for those who prefer their eggnog spiked.

Starring stand-up comedian Jason Lorber, directed by Margo Whitcomb, adapted from Sedaris' book by Joe Mantello.
