Stage Left Theatre
Scandal erupts at the North Pole when one of Santa’s eight tiny reindeer accuses him of sexual harassment. As the press descends, the other reindeer demand to reveal their stories, and a horrific tale of corruption and perversion emerges. Stage Left brings this hilarious, international theatrical sensation back to the city where it was first produced in a limited run, late-night production.

Theater Wit
Sedaris’ beloved account of his stint as an elf at Macy’s during the holiday season has been called the “24 funniest pages ever written in the English language.” Don’t miss Theater Wit’s annual antidote to traditional shows of the season – a must-see celebration of the desperation of unemployment, the insanity of Christmas shopping and the ineffable “cheer” of the holiday spirit.

Waltzing Mechanics
The Edgewater-based performance group known as the Waltzing Mechanics creates original theatrical works out of conversations with real Chicago commuters. For El Stories: Holiday Train, they've taken Yuletide-related mass-transit stories from a variety of Windy City citizens from various backgrounds and neighborhoods and turned them into a dramatized El ride that explores how Chicagoans interact as a community around the holidays. The real-life vignettes are adapted from original interviews and directed by Thomas Murray.
