DIE HARD is getting the Ultimate Christmas Makeover with All-New Festive Trailer for the Holiday Season. 

All Puppet Players presents DIE HARD: A CHRISTMAS STORY, a ribald adaptation of the flick, running through December 29th at Playhouse in the Park in Phoenix.

Carrie Edel Isaacman and her company, Shakespeare Sports, will bring a fascinating new production of Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT to New York for the upcoming holiday season starting November 30 at downtown's historic Players Theater, 115 MacDougal Street, between West 3rd and Bleecker Streets, in NYC.

Dear Readers, I need you to stop what you're doing right now (including reading this review) and go to www.seattlepublictheater.com and get your tickets to the most ridiculous fun you'll have this holiday season, 'A Very Die Hard Christmas'. Seriously tickets are going fast so do it now and then come back and read the rest of this. I'll wait here and sing softly to myself while you're gone. ('If you like Pina Coladas, getting' caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga. If you have half a brain…') Oh, you're back? Did you do it? Good. Now let me tell you about the glorious show you just bought tickets to from the brilliance of Mark Siano, John Kranz, Jeff Schell, and the deliciously demented minds of The Habit.

Is “Love, Actually” the BEST or the WORST holiday film of our time? On Sunday, December 9th, Lady Parts Justice League (LPJL), the comedy-driven reproductive rights organization, will host “Love, Actually is the BEST or Love, Actually is the WORST: A Drunken Screening” in an attempt to answer this most pressing question. Guests can come dressed as their favorite or most hated character to have a chance at winning the Love Actually costume contest! There will be drinks, sing-a-longs (“I Feel It In My Fingers”) and ragey feminist Siskel & Ebert-esque skewering of Billy Bob Thornton and Alan Rickman. Post-screening, audience members will have a chance to step up to the mic for an airing of public grievances - giving their thoughts, pro or con, before a panel of Love, Actually lovers and haters.
