Last year I saw and enjoyed the following Christmas-time shows which are playing again.   I’m providing links to my previous posts and to information about buying tickets.  I hope you have some live entertainment in your Christmas celebrations!

• With Bells On – the funny and touching Darrin Hagen story about an awkward duo trapped in an elevator, playing at the Roxy until December 22
• Velveteen Rabbit – Chris Craddock’s charming and clever version, at Fort Edmonton Park’s Capitol Theatre until the afternoon of December 24
• Nutcracker Unhinged – Evening of entertainment at the Varscona Theatre with Stuart Lemoine play and other diversions – December 12 – 14 only

Already on my calendar for this month:

• A Christmas Carol, the Tom Wood version – at the Citadel Theatre until Dec 23rd
• Best Little Newfoundland Christmas Pageant Ever – December 19 to 22 at the Varscona Theatre
• The Nutcracker Ballet – playing at the Jubilee Auditorium December 12-15 (this weekend)

Edmonton traditions I still haven’t participated in:

• Snowglobe Festival of Children’s Theatre, December 17-21 at C103
• Handel’s Messiah, especially a sing-along version (I keep forgetting to look for one until they’re done for the year)
• Singing Christmas Tree, Jubilee Auditorium December 19-22
• Candy Cane Lane
