David Sedaris, America’s best-selling humorist and social satirist, returns following the publication of his most recent book of short stories, “Happy Go Lucky”, and his first ever children’s book, “Pretty Ugly”. In his customary sartorial and humorous manner, David will make you laugh and think in equal measures, with all new, unpublished stories and commentary. As always, the reading will be accompanied by a pre and post-show book signing.

Everyone must have a ticket regardless of age, unless otherwise specified by the show. Children must be accompanied by an adult to attend this performance. Children under the age of six (6) are not allowed at select STCPA performances including Broadway, Concerts, and Comedy shows. Some shows or events do have a different age policy and STCPA will note these on the individual show web page for each event. Family shows such as Disney Live, Paw Patrol and Sesame Street Live may require all children 1 year of age and above to have a ticket. Children must be able to sit quietly in their own seat without disturbing others guests. Babies are not recommended. For the comfort and enjoyment of all guests, children who are disruptive to other guests will be asked to leave the auditorium seating area.
