I e-mailed Mitchell, curious for an update, for myself and for the blog. I wrote, “Whenever you get a chance, send me a paragraph or two on what you've been up to and some kind of picture to go along with it.”

He immediately responded with this press release:

The Santaland Diaries
by David Sedaris, adapted by Joe Mantell

"Our holiday classic returns for its ninth straight year, once again starring Mitchell Fain who plays to rave reviews and sold-out houses every year. Don't miss this antidote to Christmas cheer. A celebration of the desperation of unemployment, the insanity of Christmas shopping and the ineffable "cheer" of the holiday spirit. David Sedaris’ beloved account of his time in the trenches as an Elf at Macy’s during the holiday season has been called the “24 funniest pages ever written in the English language.” This production sells out every year, so make your reservations soon."

This was followed by seven glowing blurbs from local papers (“Recommended! Sly and effortlessly endearing, Mitchell Fain plays the audience like a harp" – Chicago Reader).

Not exactly what I was looking for but, still, I’ve heard it’s great. So, you should probably go.
