"A Christmas Carol," Union Arts Center, Downtown

Seattle’s favorite holiday tradition turns FIFTY with a season of celebration! Gather with your family and friends for a haunting Christmas Eve tale. Watch Ebenezer Scrooge get spirited away by three ghosts for a transformative journey through his past, present, and future in Charles Dickens’s story of hope and redemption. Whether it’s for the first time or the 50th, you’re invited to experience the magic of this timeless tale.

"Penelope," ArtsWest, West Seattle

A mythic folk-pop musical about becoming your own hero when you have a broken heart.

Penelope has been waiting…and waiting…and waiting for her husband, Odysseus, to return from a decade-long war. Given the rest of the soldiers came home years ago—forgive her, but she’s going to need a drink while she tells you about it. 

So go ahead and grab a drink too, and listen to this ancient tale made new. A meditation on waiting, longing, and discovering the power within. 

Featuring Chelsea LeValley as Penelope. LeValley recently finished the North American Broadway National Tour of Come From Away and is returning to ArtsWest's stage after playing Jane in Jane Eyre in 2018. She is joined onstage with a five-piece onstage band: piano, viola, violin, cello, & percussion.

$10 Tickets available for all Saturday and Sunday shows using the promo code "INCLUSION."  All tickets for the Wednesday, Nov 26th Preview are also $10.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.














"A Very Die Hard Christmas," Seattle Public Theater, Green Lake

Yippie Ki Yay, it's a Christmas miracle! Coming back this holiday season, from the comedy writers that have had Seattle in stitches for decades, comes A Very Die Hard Christmas, a musical parody that is sure to blow the roof off the joint. Sketch writers from The Habit team up with Seattle Public Theater to create this holiday comedy perfect for those who like their Christmas entertainment with lots of action, 80s jokes, smooth soft rock jams, and snarky German terrorists.

A limited number of $10 "Art is For Everyone" tickets available online for each performance.  Many performances are down to ADA accessible seats only at this point in time.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.














"Black Nativity," Intiman Theatre, Broadway Performance Hall, Capitol Hill

"Sugar Plum Gary," Emmett Montgomery, Annex Theatre, Capitol Hill

A gentle-hearted “Santanist,” Sugar Plum Gary is a bushy-bearded man in jolly footie pajamas who has been haunted by the Holiday Spirit ever since he experienced the real Santa, an ancient and sinister creature more Lovecraft than Dickens. Asking simply, “Does anyone have a question about Christmas?,” Gary unfolds an evening of hilarious and twisted holiday glee that begins on the fateful night when Santa visited the Rankin Bass Home for Unfortunate Children, leaving Gary as the only survivor.

Join Seattle stand-up comedian, storyteller, and gentle weirdo Emmett Montgomery for a delightful and sometimes terrifying adventure that’s always a different show every night.

Discount tickets available starting at $15 for all performance.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.











"Life on the Moon," Baker Theatre Workshop, ReAct Theatre, Near Lumen Field

Life on the Moon is a socio-political family drama about Spencer, a young infantryman in the U.S. army, returning home for Christmas to visit his parents and Piper, his eighteen-year-old sister with autism. As Spencer and his parents struggle to celebrate the holiday, it’s Piper who notices what everyone else misses, but is unable to communicate her observations or frustrations.
