Holiday theatricals!

It's easy to get in the holiday spirit, whether you're at the Tiny Tim or the Scrooge end of the spirit spectrum. Gull Lake alumna Lisa Watson is stage managing the fun family musical cabaret Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings, now through December 27 at the Farmers Alley Theatre. Enjoy dessert and coffee along with some great holiday harmonies in the intimate Farmers Alley space downtown.

If you're a little more on the adult/cynical side, you'll enjoy seeing Gull Lake's Adam Carter as one of the title characters in The Eight: Reindeer Monologues at the Whole Art Theatre mainstage in the Epic Center through December 19. As the Whole Art puts it: "Accusations, rumors and all-out attacks are flying fast and furious around Santa's toyshop this holiday season. Told in a series of witty monologues, each of Santa's flying hoofed critters confesses the truth behind the reported shocking allegations. The jolly old elf himself is at the top of the naughty list, and you won't believe what his trusted reindeer have to say. If you've had your fill of traditional, feel-good Christmas fare, leave the kids at home and enjoy an antler-packed evening of acid-tongued reindeer."

Enjoy!
