Sunday Dec. 21: If you like your theatre in a more casual setting, this is the show for you! Cincinnati Shakespeare Company presents Every Christmas Story Ever Told. According to their website, “Using just three actors, a very tipsy Santa, and a little help from the audience, Every Christmas Story Ever Told!! crams an entire season’s worth of stories, carols, and television specials into 90 minutes of non-stop laughs.” All this, and you can eat/drink in the “theatre.” 7:30 p.m. $20, $15 students.
