		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Only in America could a boy’s desire for a harmful weapon be turned into a charming musical. But it has, and good thing. This production adds a great deal to the story we’ve all seen a gajillion times on TBS. Ralphie (Clarke Hallum) wants (all together now) an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chicago is lousy with holiday shows. Want to see the “Christmas Carol?” Choose from six different versions. Or if your fancy is the “Nutcracker,” there are three of those. Not to mention three takes on “It’s A Wonderful Life.” It’s gotten to the point that almost every theater in town is putting on some kind [...]]]></description>

But director Chad Wise (co-writing with Sean Harklerode) thinks it’s about time zombies made their way to the Christmas [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Patrick Roberts Actor John Mohrlein is, by all appearances, a gentle man. His red-frame glasses and black derby hat tell me that. His charming laugh confirms it. Really, it’s more like a giggle that springs from a mind delighted with discovery. We get comfortable in a booth at Clarke’s Diner on Lincoln Avenue. Hat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED When Mitchell Fain breezes into the theater encouraging everyone in the audience to join him in a round of shots, it becomes pretty clear right off the bat that this will not be your typical heartwarming holiday story. Fain, standing in for satirist David Sedaris, may be a little jaded, but &#8220;A Christmas Carol&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED The House Theatre’s third rendition of Phillip C. Klapperich and Jake Minton’s adaptation of the E.T.A. Hoffmann holiday standard “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” marks a self-described “new tradition” for the ten-year-old company. And it’s a welcome one. Opening with a ten-minute introduction that’s as emotionally charged (and devoid of dialogue) as the [...]]]></description>

As a choreographer, Joffrey came to “The Nutcracker” rather late, offering the premiere of his “American” slant on the [...]]]></description>
