Turtle Creek Chorale camps up Christmas
Earlier this month, the Turtle Creek Chorale touched audiences with their Comfort & Joy concert of sentimental holidays faves … but that was so first half of December 2012 — we’re well beyond that now, what with the Mayans being wrong and all. Naughty & Nice: A Very Turtle Christmas is the camptastic sequel to C&J, presented in the style of vintage TV specials … why, they’ll even have Liza hosting (in the personage of B.J. Cleveland). You have three more chances to get into the spirit before Christmas Eve!
DEETS: City Performance Hall, 2520 Flora St. Dec. 21–22 at 8 p.m., Dec. 23 at 2 p.m. $39–$54. TurtleCreek.org.
