Every Christmas Story Ever Told (and Then Some)

Cincinnati Shakespeare brings back — for the eighth consecutive year — a non-stop holiday romp through everyone’s favorite Christmas stories. They do it with four actors and in 90 minutes, skewering classics we all know and love.

You name it and a tale you remember will end up in their satirical sights: A Christmas Carol, of course, but also It’s a Wonderful Life, A Charlie Brown Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, The Nutcracker, Rudolph and more. I’m pretty sure you won’t stop laughing.

Through Dec. 29. $28. Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, 719 Race St., Downtown, 513-381-2273, cincyshakes.com.
