If you’re not into Christmas shows, you’re kind of scrooged right now. But there is much to choose from, for the young, the old, the perverse, families and grownups. If you just can’t go there — and regardless — we suggest “Murder Ballad” (last chance) at Actor’s Express and/or “Morgan Freeman Presents … ” at Dad’s Garage. Cheers!
