The musical sensation in a groundbreaking new production à la MTC’s critically acclaimed reimagining of Cabaret. Eva Duarte Peron’s rags-to-riches journey from ambitious actress to the most powerful woman in Latin America—and, eventually, to a saint-like figure after her death.

Fairfield County Professional Premiere! 

by David Sedaris   Adapted by Joe Mantello

NPR and This American Life favorite David Sedaris’ delightfully thorny account of a struggling young writer who takes a job as a Christmas elf at Macy’s in New York City, and offers a sardonic, witty, irreverent accounting of elf training, bad Santa's, abusive customers, and humiliating conditions. Don't miss the show that The New York Times calls “A hilarious one-man holiday tour-de-force! Priceless observations, both outrageous and subtle. Destined to hold a place in the annals of American humor writing.”

February 26 - March 13, 2016
