‘TWAS – A Holiday Musical
Sinclair Community College Theatre
Dec. 11-14
[Dayton]

Directed by Kelsey Celek 

A family-fun holiday musical! When the family pets are left alone on Christmas Eve, they are visited by the neighborhood animals who teach them that humans celebrate winter holidays in different ways.  They learn about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and La Posada and discover that while humans have different traditions, ultimately all celebrations are about love and togetherness.

AIN’T TRUE AND UNCLE FALSE FOR THE HOLIDAYS Run Dec. 7-14

AIN’T TRUE AND UNCLE FALSE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Dec. 7-14
[Over-the-Rhine]

The holidays have arrived in Big-Fib Trailer-Park Cul-de-sac… and that means it’s time to gather at Ain’t True & Uncle False’s place. These two lovable tricksters share traditions no one’s quite sure ever existed, retelling holiday classics in wildly misremembered and re-interpreted ways that somehow still land right in the heart. Between the tall tales, twisted carols, and holiday songs you didn’t know you needed, you’ll laugh till your cheeks hurt and maybe even mist up a little.

Part storytelling show, part back-porch concert, Ain’t True & Uncle False for the Holidays is where the season’s joy meets down-home ridiculousness. Expect absurd traditions, unexpected truths, and plenty of moments you’ll want to carry with you long after you’ve heard these Tales Too Tall for Tinsel.

  • Sun, Dec. 7 at 7:30pm SOLD OUT
  • Tue, Dec. 9 at 7:30pm
  • Sat, Dec. 13 at 2pm
