There is always plenty to do around our vibrant city during the holidays, and in our humble and unbiased opinion, theatre is definitely the highlight. So we've rounded up some can't-miss shows from around Metro-Atlanta to check out below!







A Christmas Carol at the Alliance Theatre



Is it Christmas in the ATL if Alliance's A Christmas Carol doesn't happen? Pretty sure it can't be. This Atlanta mainstay returns to the Coca-Cola Stage to debut a totally new edition of the show we know and love.  Performances are Nov. 12 – Dec. 24, 2021 with varying dates and times. And for the first time ever, the performance will also be streamed December 17-January 9. Tickets and schedule information are available at The Woodruff Arts Center Box Office in person, by calling 404-733-4600, or visiting www.alliancetheatre.org/christmas.  



About



Ebenezer Scrooge, an old man well-known for his miserly ways, is visited by ghosts offering him a chance at a better future – his old partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future – who teach him it is never too late to change.  The beloved Dickens classic comes to life in this Broadway-scale production.  







Wonderland: Alice’s Rock & Roll Adventure at Synchronicity Theatre



In the category of "Not explicitly Christmas, but still magical for the whole family," Synchronicity is offering quite the musical romp through a classic story.  Synchronicity Theatre’s Family Series production of Wonderland: Alice’s Rock & Roll Adventure will run December 10, 2021 – January 2, 2022. Individual tickets start at $15. For tickets or more information, visit synchrotheatre.com or call 404-484-8636. 



About



The show was adapted from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. The show was created by Rachel Rockwell (book, lyrics) and Michael Mahler (music, lyrics). In this rock concert meets live theatre, we follow young Alice as she journeys through self-doubt to find her true voice and her true self. This vibrant, zany, and refreshing new take on Lewis Carroll’s beloved story brings a live band soundtrack - from classic rock to punk to ska and even a little Bollywood – to a classic tale for kids and parents of all ages. 







Christmas Canteen 2021 at Aurora Theatre



Is it Christmas in Lawrenceville without Aurora Theatre's annual Christmas Canteen? Certainly not. This year, the beloved annual holiday variety show takes place in its new home, the recently-completed Lawrenceville Arts Center. Recommended for all ages, Christmas Canteen 2021 will be presented Nov. 26 – Dec. 23. Tickets start at $25 and may be purchased online at tickets.auroratheatre.com or by calling the Box Office at 678.226.6222.

Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery at Theatrical Outfit

Billed as: "5 Actors. 40+ Roles. 1000s Of Laughs For The Entire Family," Baskerville will run at Balzer Theater at Herren’s from November 17 – December 19, 2021. Visit www.theatricaloutfit.org or call 678-528-1500 for tickets and more information.



About



Who killed Sir Charles Baskerville? Is there any truth to the legend of a supernatural hound? This sounds like a case for the world’s most famous detective! From the award-winning mastermind of mayhem, Ken Ludwig, comes a fast-paced comedy mystery that takes us from Baker Street to the haunted Dartmoor. Join Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson as they try to escape a dizzying web of clues, disguises, and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than 40 characters in a “Perfect Mix Of Slapstick And Thrills” for the entire family (Theatermania).
