Anyone looking for a reprieve from the madness of the holiday season should look no further than the Holiday Follies at Signature Theatre. This charming Christmas present of a cabaret show wonderfully combines humor, audience participation and a catalogue of both conventional and unconventional holiday songs to create an evening of pure fun.

Signature Theatre presents two limited-run shows that bring the spirit of the holidays to the stage for family, friends, and music lovers of all ages. The fun begins this week with composer and Signature favorite Matt Conner (Crossing, The Hollow, Nevermore), who will warm up the intimate ARK Theatre with his new show A Matt Conner Christmas.

"A Broadway Christmas Carol" proves to be an exception to the endless litany of Dickensian themed Christmas tradition. This production was not just a retelling of a timeless literary classic, but a highly entertaining show to help ring in the holiday season.

Producing Artistic Director Carolyn Griffin has announced A Broadway Christmas Carol, created by Kathy Feininger, will return to MetroStage for a fourth season for the holidays tonight, Nov. 21-Dec. 22. It has been produced the past three seasons and has become a holiday tradition here at MetroStage. Prior to 2009, it had played to sold out houses at Round House Theatre in Silver Spring, Maryland, for seven consecutive years ending in 2004.

The Capitol Steps have arrived, direct from Washington, D.C., to kick off their 2013 fall comedy tour just as the federal government has shut down over the budget impasse.

Workers can call the Harris Center ticket office at (916) 608-6888 to reserve their seats.
