The holiday season brings shopping and gifting, decorating, carol singing, big, sometimes huge, dinners, family gatherings, special church services and Masses, and parties. It also brings a spate of holiday-themed shows. There will be plenty of those in our area in 2024.

Surflight Theatre will chip in big time by performing the classic “Miracle on 34th Street.” It’s a musical version of the 1947 film, with a book, music and lyrics by Meredith Wilson of “The Music Man” fame.
