F R O M T H E T H E AT R E Welcome to our production of The Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris, adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello. Delightfully irreverent and packed with Sedaris’s signature wit, The Santaland Diaries is a holiday classic for those of us who prefer our eggnog spiked. We’re sure you’ll enjoy watching Professional Training Company (PTC) alumnus Bear Brummel (You Across from Me, Little Bunny Foo Foo) in the role of Crumpet, a disgruntled elf, as he takes us through a different kind of holiday journey than the one you may be familiar with in Fifth Third Bank’s A Christmas Carol. We also encourage you to join us in the new year for the rest of our season’s lineup. We are thrilled to kick off 2019 with acclaimed playwright Dominique Morisseau’s Pipeline, featuring the return of Steve H. Broadnax III as director. Pipeline calls attention to the limitations of our education system and the legacy of violence confronting black youth in America. Immediately following Pipeline is Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin in the Pamela Brown Auditorium. Come with us on a lively journey through the legendary career of Irving Berlin, starring virtuosic performer Hershey Felder. Featuring cherished standards such as “God Bless America,” Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin melds story and song in a love letter to a man whose work helped define the American songbook. Finally, don’t forget to take a look at our lineup for the 43rd Humana Festival of New American Plays. This is your chance to be the first to see groundbreaking plays that chart new theatrical territory, right in your own backyard. We know that the holidays can be very busy, and we thank you for including Actors Theatre in your holiday celebrations. Theatre is a terrific way to spend time with friends and family and to meet other people who enjoy the experience of a live performance. We encourage you to give the gift of live theatre to those you love by treating them to an Actors Theatre Gift Certificate or Season Ticket Package. Whatever your contribution, be it purchasing a ticket to this show or donating to our Annual Fund, please know that we appreciate your help in allowing us to bring world-class theatre to your community. From our Actors Theatre family to yours, we wish you the best for this holiday season and many happy returns for the New Year.

The Little Elf That Could: How David Sedaris Became David Sedaris Before he became a bestselling author, David Sedaris survived by working odd jobs. He picked apples in Oregon. He reinforced the edges of window screens with a stapler (to keep squirrels from invading attics) in Chicago. He cleaned apartments in New York City. And, broke and jobless after first moving to the Big Apple, he got a gig playing an elf at Macy’s “SantaLand,” which would inspire his beloved and hilariously biting personal essay, “Santaland Diaries.” Sedaris is now a literary celebrity. He’s one of the few writers who can fill Carnegie Hall with his adoring fans and who’s been considered funny enough to appear regularly on The Late Show with David Letterman. During his days as Crumpet the Elf, however, he never thought he’d see his dream of being a published author come true. “I’m wearing a green velvet costume; it doesn’t get any worse than this,” Sedarisas-Crumpet quips darkly. But his career would profit immensely from this time spent faking holiday cheer and herding frazzled families for their photo with Santa. It was “Santaland Diaries” that introduced Sedaris’s signature deadpan humor to a national audience, catapulting him to fame in the early 1990s. Since 1977, Sedaris had kept a diary, often carrying a notebook with him to record experiences both bizarre and mundane. (He’s known for his ability to highlight the weirdness of everyday life, zeroing in on personal quirks or strange encounters that are often highly relatable, but that we might never think to document in such comic detail.) As with many of his other early writings, the pithy observations in “Santaland Diaries” originally came from these journal entries. According to Sedaris, “‘Santaland’ was just stuff in my diary. All I did was take things from my diary and arrange them.” One night, he was reading excerpts from his diary onstage at a small New York club. He later recounted in an NPR interview: “[Radio host] Ira Glass was in the audience. He introduced himself…. Later, he called, asking if I had anything Christmassy for a show that he was doing at the time called The Wild Room, which was sort of a primitive version of This American Life. So I recorded the Santa story for that, and then he put it on [the daily NPR program] Morning Edition.” Sedaris could never have predicted the rush of popularity that followed. “My life just changed completely,” he has said, “like someone waved a magic wand.” In conversation with NPR, he elaborated:

A U D I E N C E

P l ay N Otes “‘Santaland’ was the first thing I ever had on the radio. I’d read out loud before and had things published in small magazines, but no one had ever heard of them. When I did a reading out loud, there might have been eighteen people in the audience. To go from that to the Morning Edition audience is a pretty substantial leap. “After ‘Santaland,’ the phone just started ringing. One time, a telephone operator even called me. She called to say that she had heard [the piece]. I didn’t know operators were allowed to make calls. I was thinking, ‘Don’t you need to be at your switchboard? Maybe somebody needs to go to the hospital.’ …I was very, very surprised. “Again, it was just from that one story. It was one thing for someone you went to high school with to call, but then people called wanting me to do commercials or write a movie. It was heady to go from having no opportunities to so many.” The rest is history. Thanks to the wild success of “Santaland Diaries,” Sedaris, in his words, “went from having 50 listeners to 50 million listeners.” Soon after, he landed the book contract that led to his first published collection of essays and short fiction, the critically acclaimed Barrel Fever (in which “Santaland Diaries” also appears). Today, there are more than 10 million copies of Sedaris’s books in print, and his work has been translated into 25 languages. Meanwhile, his recording of “Santaland Diaries” has aired on Morning Edition during the Christmas season every year since 2004, and is one of the show’s most requested features. Not too shabby for a man who’d often joked that he was only qualified for “jobs that needed no skills.”

Members of the Professional Training Company receive additional training at the Louisville Ballet School.

Actors Theatre of Louisville was founded in 1964 by Richard Block in association with Ewel Cornett. Jon Jory was Producing Director from 1969 to 2000. Alexander Speer was Executive Director from 1965 to 2006.

Artists under Commission In addition to reading script submissions from around the country, Actors Theatre of Louisville builds relationships with playwrights and encourages the creation of new work by commissioning plays from artists whom we admire. A new play commission engages a writer to pen a piece specifically for Actors Theatre of Louisville and allows us to support the work’s development from the earliest stages of inspiration onward. Some notable past full-length plays commissioned by Actors Theatre and produced in the Humana Festival of New American Plays include The Christians by Lucas Hnath, Cry it Out by Molly Smith Metzler, For Peter Pan on her 70th birthday by Sarah Ruhl, Becky Shaw by Gina Gionfriddo, Maple and Vine by Jordan Harrison (co-commission with Berkeley Repertory Theatre), Big Love and The Glory of the World by Charles Mee, and Dinner with Friends by Donald Margulies (winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Drama).

Commissioned writers currently include: Jeff Augustin Kara Lee Corthron Jackie Sibblies Drury Emily Feldman Tasha Gordon-Solmon 28
