“Santaland Diaries,” writer David Sedaris’ wry memoir about his stint as one of Santa’s elves at Macy’s in New York, is becoming a new holiday favorite in Sonoma County.

A downtown Santa Rosa production, directed by Argo Thompson and starring David Yen (above), had a successful run last December and reopened last month at the Spreckels Performing Arts Center in Rohnert Park.

And now the show has gotten such a strong response that it has been extended.

Meanwhile, the longtime Russian River area troupe, Pegasus Theater, still has its own production of the show running in Guerneville, directed by Buzz Bense and starring John Rowan as Sedaris’ crusty elf, Crumpet.

“Santaland Diaries” first aired in 1992 on National Public Radio, and was later adapted as a solo play by Joe Mantello.
