TWO GOODMAN THEATRE PARTNERSHIPS BRING A CHRISTMAS CAROL INTO THE CHICAGO COMMUNITY: | LURIE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL VIDEO VIEWING BRINGS CHEER TO 300+ INPATIENTS (DEC. 20 -25) | WBEZ CHICAGO AND VOCALO TO REBROADCAST A CHRISTMAS CAROL—AN AUDIO PLAY ON CHRISTMAS EVE (DECEMBER 24 AT 3PM) AND CHRISTMAS DAY (DECEMBER 25 AT 10AM)

**** Highly Recommended **** "The Play that Goes Wrong" is one of the funniest plays I’ve ever seen.  I can’t remember when I laughed so much.  The laughter, which started well before the show began, continued until the very end.  If you’re feeling blue, “The Play that Goes Wrong” will chase those blues away!  Don’t miss it!  4 BIG Spotlights   

***** Highly Recommended ***** The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theatre is rocking with the return of Q Brothers Christmas Carol.  The Q Brothers Collective (GQ, JQ, Jax and Pos) have yanked Ebenezer Scrooge and the gang into the 21st century!  I’ve seen this cheeky, snarky, funny and very, very original musical every year (and twice one year – but that’s another story) since it premiered in 2013 as a developmental work-in-progress (that’s 7 years, I think), and it still makes me laugh!  It’s become my very own holiday tradition!  4 BIG Spotlights   

**** Highly Recommended **** Mr. Dickens’ Hat, A Play with Music, is definitely not what I expected.  I thought maybe it would be another holiday story, maybe with a Dickens theme.  As soon as I saw the ‘steam punk’ set, I knew this would be something unique – and it is.  Mr. Dickens’ Hat is actually about a hat that did belong to Mr. Dickens, a hat that’s been on an adventure or two.  I really enjoyed Mr. Dickens Hat, and I think you will too.  4 Spotlights
