"Santaland" Goes Multi-Media

Just one of the many awesome videos in this year's production of The Santaland Diaries! This weekend only - December 16-18 - and tickets are going fast! (We know people say that all the time, but we are fo' real...)

Bonus Fun at "The Santaland Diaries"

Since it's the 10th Anniversary of The Santaland Diaries, we wanted to pull out a few more of the ol' stops.  We've lined up some pre-show silliness and a few post-show parties.  Every night (and afternoon) of The Santaland Diaries will be a little holiday party!

Before the show:
* The surliest Santa of all will be throned in the lobby to hear your Christmas wishes (note: could make a great photo for your Christmas cards).
* We've invited the best carolers in town to share some of the lesser known carols ("Walkin 'Round in Women's Underwear," anyone?)
* You can get your own elf-name - maybe you're a Lil' Sparkly or a Sugar Cookie or a Yellow Snow?
* And 30 minutes prior to curtain, we'll be showing intro videos from Santalands past. Missed seeing Tom tormented by one of the theatre's dress forms? Come early!

And after the show, we've lined up post-show parties with some of our awesome neighbors!  We'd love for you to head straight over to the post-show party after Santaland and have a cocktail (dutch treat, y'all).  Here's where we'll be:

Thursday, December 15 - Opening Night Post-Show Party at Arcade Asheville
Friday, December 16 - Post-Show at Fiore's
Saturday, December 17 - Post-Show at Sazarac
Sunday, December 18 - Closing Matinee Post-Show at Olive or Twist

It sure would be fun to have you there! Click here for tickets!
