Tis the season! Are you looking for festive and fun things to do this December? Check out our top five jolly activities to make the most of this season!
DECEMBER SHOWS AT THE PLAYHOUSE @ WESTPORT
The holidays are truly merry with two great shows playing at the Playhouse @ Westport! From now until Dec. 18th, you can bust a gut at Dixie’s Tupperware Party about an ex-con mother of three straightening out her life by selling the iconic plastic bowls in an unexpected way. And then from Dec. 27 – Jan. 1, watch Robert Dubai’s newest Off-Brodway hit in which he begins his journey with a simple question: Who am I? What do I believe? What’s the point? Okay, that’s three questions but suffice to say, he has no answers. He is then pulled into a hysterical alternative universe of critical thought in search of the bigger picture. Both December shows are fast-paced and hilarious and make a great holiday activity to do with friends!
