The Seafarer 7:00 PM 2 hour(s) The Circuit Playhouse 1705 Poplar

The Seafarer is a chilling new play about the sea, Ireland, and the power of myth. It's Christmas Eve, and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his irascible, aging brother who's recently gone blind. Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher. Sharky may be playing for his very soul. "...a midnight-black comedy that wrenches laughter out of the despair of frustrated men whose lives have come to naught." - Wall Street Journal.

The Santaland Diaries 7:00 PM 2 hour(s) Playhouse on the Square, 51 South Cooper Street

The elf is back by popular demand, and he's taking over The Memphian Room! Surrounded by fake snow, tacky decorations, and elves serving drinks, audiences will be immersed in the Santaland experience. Join Crumpet, Macy's grumpiest elf, as he recounts his training and his hilarious encounters with surly parents and their greedy children! With a healthy dose of sarcasm and snarkiness, Crumpet manages to reveal the shortcomings of the hustle and bustle surrounding the holidays, while gently reminding us of the true meaning of the season. This promises to be a night at the theatre like no other!
