Experience the magic of Christmas on stage this season

If you’re a fan of the arts and can’t miss a great show, you’ll love Atlanta’s selection of live performances this holiday season. Jingle all the way to these theatres and performance centers for seasonal shows not to be missed:

• Visit the Alliance Theatre for a revamped production of the always favorite “A Christmas Carol” through Dec. 24.

• View Cirque du Soleil’s first-ever holiday-themed production, “Twas The Night Before …” at Fox Theatre.

• The Gwinnett Ballet Theatre and Atlanta Ballet both offer magical productions of “The Nutcracker.” And Fox Theatre is also showing both a traditional and hip-hop version of the ballet.
