Sometimes it seems as if our lives are flying by in an instant. And for 10 year old Kai in Out of Box Theatre's production of The Grown Up, it literally is. Kai and a time-traveling talisman together create a theatrical tour-de-force in an impressionistic, free-associating series of narrative vignettes written by Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright, Jordan Harrison (Marjorie Prime, Maple, and Vine).

Out of Box Theatre's annual adults-only holiday sketch show Santa After Hours returns for its eighth season. This year they bring you Holiday Party Crashers, and it promises to be their best show yet. Out of Box Artistic Director Carolyn Choe says, 'Of course we say that every year, but you know, we cross our fingers and hope for the best.' Each season, Santa After Hours is a completely new show written by a bunch of local playwrights/actors who are certainly on the naughty list and are collectively known as 'The Usual Gang of Idiots.'
