‘Santaland Diaries’ ho-ho-hos it into Fort Worth
David Sedaris spent a holiday season in New York making money by being an elf named Crumpet at the Santaland inside Macy’s, and turned those experiences into an acclaimed essay and radio performance. Joe Mantello adapted it to a one-man show, also named The Santaland Diaries, and Christmas has never been the same. Casa Manana presents this very irreverent, very gay comedy.
DEETS: Casa Manana, 3101 W. Lancaster Ave., Fort Worth. CasaManana.org.

DTC opens world premiere ‘Fetch Clay, Make Man’
Cassius Clay (aka Muhammad Ali) and Lincoln Perry (aka Stepin Fetchit) led vastly different lives… and left equally different legacies. But there was a lot that they shared as well.
