God of Carnage – Circle – 10 performances – Drama
by Yasmina Reza.
Description: A playground altercation between 11-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters. Winner of three Tony Awards in 2009, including best play. “A streamlined anatomy of the human animal…delivers the cathartic release of watching other people’s marriages go boom. A study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct, this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment.” The New York Times

11/23/2012 – 12/8/2012
The Santaland Diaries (plus Season’s Greetings) Circle – 6 performances – Comedy
By David Sedaris adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello
David Sedaris, hilarious and probably true account of his stint working as a Christmas elf at Macy's department store during the holiday crunch. At first the job is simply humiliating, but the thousands of visitors pouring through Santa’s workshop make him battle weary and bitter. Taking consolation in the fact that some of the other elves were television extras on One Life to Live, he grins and bears it. At long last, the revolving door of Santas finally delivers one who 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. Santaland is paired with Season’s Greetings. Another funny, touching – and twisted – monologue from David Sedaris about the horror of seasonal newsletters. Sedaris’ tales are tart and pleasant alternatives to all the holiday cheer.
