The holiday season is the perfect time to gather the family together for a night out at the theater. In the season often categorized by miracles and an “anything can happen” attitude, nothing brings the heart and soul alive quite like the magic of Christmas. In Los Angeles, we are never short on live theater events; here are my top picks for fun holiday shows fit for the entire family!
