The Santaland Diaries
by David Sedaris
Adapted for the stage by Joe Mantello

Cygnet Theatre Company, San Diego CA

Directed by Sean Murray
Sound Design by M. Scott Grabau

The Santaland Diaries is a wonderful satire about the Christmas season. My sound design for this production was a wonderful fruit cake of lounge style holiday music, voiceovers, and sound effects. Here are a few samples of voiceovers and effects from the production. The "Elf in Charge" cues are recordings of Sean Murray that I tweaked a bit for a more diminutive, nasal sound.
