Traditionally, the American Shakespeare Center shifts to its holiday repertoire at this time of year for its performances at the Blackfriars Playhouse and this year is no different. This evening I saw Paul Fidalgo in David Sedaris's "Santaland Diaries," a very funny and irreverent one man show about a man who is hired to be an elf in Macy's Santaland. Fidalgo (who's blog might be of interest--and you might want to follow the links to his political blog also) is a member of the ASC's resident troupe and is a terrically talented guy, and he's great in this show. I was glad to see John Harrell, who has played David/Crumpet in previous ASC productions of Santaland, providing the pre-show entertainment. We are so lucky in Staunton to have both of these performers (and the whole ASC experience) with us.
