Holiday cheer and more can be found on stage this season at theaters across the area.
Offerings include annual favorites (from Charles Dickens, Irving Berlin and Frank Capra), a visit with a grown-up friend of the Grinch, a new tale of Santa’s son, stories about elves and tin soldiers, holiday-themed improv, plenty of new and classic treats from Broadway in Chicago (“The Twenty-Sided Tavern,” “The Lion King”), and some not-so-holiday-themed productions (“The Sound of Music,” “Little Women”).
