Studio Players: “Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some)"

Instead of performing Charles Dickens' beloved holiday classic for the umpteenth time, three actors decide to perform every Christmas story ever told, plus Christmas traditions from around the world, seasonal icons from ancient times to topical pop-culture, and every Christmas carol ever sung.

8 p.m. opening night, Fri. and Sat.; 2 p.m. Sat. and Sun., 2 p.m. Carriage House Theatre, 154 Bell Ct. Sun. www.studioplayers.org
