Weâre in the final stretch of the holiday season, so most of whatâs going on is Christmas themedâbut fear not, Grinches. Here are plenty of things that are either not at all Christmas or at least a skewed take on the holiday. The New Jewish Theatreâs production of Into the Woods is extra in all the best possible ways, so catch it while you can. At the Kranzberg, Rose from the Titanic is pitching a movie based on her experience in Never Let Go: A One-Woman Titanic. Armory STL is turning 1, so celebrate with cakeâand booze. Tom HĂŒckâs Evil Prints Holiday Sale is always a great place to find an amazing gift for the weirdo in your life. And the Darknessâ Krampus Christmas Haunted House puts the âslayâ in âsleigh.â Stay safe, and have a great weekend!
