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!

Read MoreBoth “Peter Pan & Wendy” at Synchronicity Theatre and a free evening of storytelling at Theatrical Outfit are new and worth your time. And you can’t go wrong with the Alliance Theatre’s “Christmas Carol” or Atlanta Ballet’s “Nutcracker.” The usual holiday suspects continue on as well.
Read MoreIf 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.”
