There’s a chill in the air. A dusting of snow. And plenty to keep the season brighter than the stars in the clear skies we’ve seen this last week. Here are a few choice ideas to keep the fires burning bright for you and for others.
Sing to Feed
The second annual Sing to Feed will take place at The Historic Old Church on Saturday, Dec. 7, at 6 p.m. This year, they’re stripping down the concept and going “sponsor free” so they can focus on the music, and more importantly, our community.

Since John Waters is sold out at the Aladdin Friday night… what is a cynic to do? Head for Artists Rep to see what ART’s new artistic director, Domaso Rodrigquez, has cooked up for seasonal delights and it’s not chestnuts. It’s a twofer of contemporary works that happen to be set on Christmas Eve. (Mature audiences!)
