For many Atlantans, attending a holiday production is a tradition that is woven into Christmastime each year.
Seeing a local theatre or dance show provides great bonding time for family members or friends alike. It is also a way to slow down during the busy season and enjoy some entertainment
These five beloved Atlanta holiday shows are local staples of the holiday season that every Atlantan should see at least once:
ALLIANCE THEATRE’S CHRISTMAS CAROL
When: Through Dec. 24
Where: Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre
Tickets: $14 to $75
What to Expect: Alliance Theatre stages its production for the first time at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre this year complete with live music and an all-star Atlanta cast. Follow Ebenezer Scrooge as he is visited on Christmas Eve by ghosts offering him a chance at a better future – his old partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future – who teach him it is never too late to change.
ATLANTA BALLET’S NUTCRACKER
When: Through Dec. 28
Where: Fox Theatre
Tickets: $16.25 to $128.25
