Best of Chicago voting is live now. Vote for your favorites »
If you’re in the mood for some live theater, our writers recommend the following holiday-themed productions: Charles Dickens Begrudgingly Performs A Christmas Carol Again, “a wonderfully charming evening of tea, biscuits, and holiday spirit,” says Marissa Oberlander; The Christmas Schooner, “the yuletide traditions of the mostly German-American characters are warmly and engagingly staged,” claims Zac Thompson; and It’s a Wonderful Life: Live at the Biograph!—”the entire cast is outstanding,” according to Julia Thiel.
Or perhaps you’re in the mood for something less conventional? If so, Porn and Chicken, which won the audience award for Best Dance Party in our latest Best of Chicago issue, has a night of debauchery in store at Evil Olive. Also, Gorilla Tango offers a sampling of its very best geek-burlesque productions with Season’s Geekings: A Gorilla Tango Burlesque Holiday Special.
