Christmas Theatre Offerings

Big happenings in Southland theatres. I have already seen two productions with Christmas themes - one local and the other, not. 9 O'Clock Players present The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood (see my review!) for a couple more weekends.

The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies is now offering their Holiday Show thru New Year's Eve (see review!).
