Florida Kids Spotlight: December ’09

There are plenty of holiday shows that annually crop up around this time, including Orlando Shakespeare Theatre’s production of Every Christmas Story Ever Told (December 2-27). If you’re looking for dollar value, it doesn’t get much better than every popular yuletide yarn milked thoroughly for laughs in 90 minutes by three men and their “reingoat.” In Jupiter, there’s a more focused spoof as a community theatre group fumbles their way through a production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol in A Farndale Christmas (December 18-23), playing at the Atlantic Theatre. For the more traditional Christmas theatergoer, Cape Coral’s Cultural Park Theatre spices up their Dickens with a little song in their production of Ebenezer Scrooge: The Musical (December 4-13).
