If you’re in the Christmas spirit, we can recommend everything from Synchronicity Theatre’s “A Year With Frog and Toad” and the Alliance’s “A Christmas Carol” to a Very Merry Holiday Pops at the ASO. If not, try 7 Stages’ anti-holiday “Atlanta Xmas Apocalypse,” the Collective Project’s “The Theory of Everything” or Fabrefaction’s “Little Women.”

For that reason we recommend “The Exonerated” at the Alliance; “Naked City,” from the PushPush peeps at the Goat Farm; “The Theory of Everything” by the Collective Project, also at the Goat Farm; and Working Title Playwrights’ “WTP Chain Play.” Lots of holiday morsels remain as well.
