Festive outings await. The bad news: “Knead” (Alliance) closes Sunday. The good news: “Christmas Canteen” (Aurora), “A Christmas Carol” (Alliance), Atlanta Ballet’s new “Nutcracker” and “Frog and Toad” (Synchronicity) open or continue; and the ASO plays its first holiday concert. Intriguing: Aurora’s one-man “This Wonderful Life.”
