“The Girl From the North Country” which is at Proctors in Schenectady through Sunday, is an ambitious, unique theater experience.

The ideal family holiday show is one that parents or grandparents leave as happy as do the kids. This makes“ The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” which is playing at Cohoes Music Hall through December 23, the Holy Grail of family entertainment.
-
If you expect “Million Dollar Quartet Christmas” to be a hokey, Christmas-themed juke box musical you will not be disappointed. The musical which is at Capital Repertory Theatre until December 24, will not fill you with holiday cheer.

Much like the shopping malls, holiday entertainment starts in full swing right after Thanksgiving. Indeed, a lot of the merriment appears front-loaded. This week, two of the area’s favorite holiday events take place.
-
“The Sound Inside” playing at the Cohoes Music Hall through Sunday is a fascinating play.
-
We should all be grateful about all of our cultural blessings on Thanksgiving. However, it is not enough to appreciate all that we have. It is critical that we support all that we have.
-
Attending the production of “Sympathetic Magic” at Bridge Street Theatre in Catskill is as close as you can get to attending the world premiere of a 26-year old play. That’s because the play is rarely produced.
-
Theater, like so many industries, are battling to bring back the customers they had before COVID.
-
It doesn’t take much more than reading the morning paper or watching the evening news on television to realize we are all in need of some laughter in our lives.

If you are one of those people who enjoys theater that is created merely for a good time, you are in luck. “Mrs. Doubtfire”, a musical comedy based on a film of the same name, is at Proctors through Sunday. It fits the description of a fun night of theater.
