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 we had but one night out this weekend, we’d spend it at “Murder Ballad” (Actor’s Express), at the ASO, “White Rabbit Red Rabbit” (Out of Hand) or the intriguingly titled “Morgan Freeman Presents the Magic Negro and Other Blackness” (Dad’s Garage). How about you?
