Whether or not you choose to get caught up in the craziness of Black Friday holiday shopping, here’s wishing you a sane, relaxed and fulfilling shopping season — you know the kind, when you find the perfect gift that transcends the materialism of the holidays and speaks to what really matters during the holidays, and year-round: good friends and family, and showing/telling them you care.

Please don’t forget to order a copy of Bit Players, Has-Been Actors and Other Posers for your teen or 20-something theatre-loving friends and relatives.  The sequel should also be available for the holidays. So look beyond A Christmas Carol and find other ways to inject the wonderful world of theatre into your holiday season.
