Potted Potter: Nov. 27 – Dec. 2, McGlohon Theater at Spirit Square

Perfect for ages six to Dumbledore. Ticket prices begin at $25. More details.
A Christmas Story, The Musical: Dec. 4 – 9, Ovens Auditorium
An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between young Ralphie and his Christmas wish: an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. "A Christmas Story, The Musical" brings the classic 1983 movie to hilarious life on stage and features music from the songwriting team behind the smash hit Tony Award-winning musical "Dear Evan Hansen" and the Academy Award-winning film "La La Land." Ticket prices begin at $25. More details.
The Hip Hop Nutcracker: Dec. 26 – 29, Knight Theater
A holiday mash-up for the entire family, "The Hip Hop Nutcracker," is set to Tchaikovsky's timeless music and performed by a supercharged cast of all-star dancers along with a DJ and violinist. Digital scenery transforms E.T.A. Hoffmann's story of a palace of sugarplums into a romance set in 1980s Brooklyn, celebrating love, community and the magic of New Year's Eve. Ticket prices begin at $19.99. More details.
Rock of Ages: Dec. 27 – 31, Belk Theater
Featuring the music of hit bands such as Styx, Poison, Twisted Sister and Whitesnake, the 10th anniversary production of "Rock of Ages" features a dynamic new cast revisiting the larger than life characters and exhilarating story that turned this show into a global phenomenon.
