santalandsco10kspra_254-sized_ The Santaland Diaries‘ delightful little elf Crumpet is making spirits bright and earning rave reviews all the way. Two more cropped up this weekend:

The Albany Times-Union calls it “a beautifully staged, terrifically acted piece of holiday entertainment that’s familiar and still fresh,” praising for delivering “a bravura performance”.

Berkshire Living adds, “Davenport is wonderful…a skilled storyteller. Davenport doesn’t give us a squeaky-voiced, chipper ‘elf’ but a very real man at a difficult time in his life…in a way that is funny, sharp, certainly sarcastic, but without bitterness.”

The Santaland Diaries plays just ten more performances in the intimate Bernstein Theatre, so get your tickets now before Crumpet heads back to the North Pole for good!
