Austin, TX

There is a lot of great stuff going on this weekend at the Alamo:

Master Pancake Theatre CHRISTMAS SHOW

Where: Alamo Ritz

After a 2-year absence, it’s the return of the famous Alamo Christmas Clip Show featuring Master Pancake Theater! Join us as we channel surf A.D.D.-style through a blizzard of clips from your favorite holiday TV specials and some weird holiday programs you never dreamed existed. Owen Egerton returns to team up with regulars John Erler and Joe Parsons for all the fun. We’ll also have an audience sing-along, some holiday snacks, and who knows, maybe even a little pudding and butter! Come join us at the Alamo this December as THE HOLIDAYS GET SLEIGHED!!

and Sunday: The CHRISTMAS POPS SING-ALONG!

This is the last Saturday to see these Adult shows:

X-Mas UnWrapped: A Holiday Burlesque ‘08

Where: Hyde Park Theatre, 511 W. 43rd Street
$$$: Tickets: $13 in advance, $18 at the door

Tis the Season! Once a year the Hyde Park Theatre turns into a naughty winter wonderland, and the guys and gals of Shrewd become your favorite Jingle Belles and Naughty Elves for a night of comedy, dance and classic burlesque. Shrewd Productions is proud to announce this year’s version of your favorite holiday treat, X-Mas UnWrapped: A Holiday Burlesque ‘08!

Christmas Belles

December in the Lone Star State - but the Futrelle sisters are not exactly in a festive mood. Frankie is overdue with twins, Twink’s in jail, and Honey Raye is trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb’s Christmas pageant from spiraling out of control. Throw in a kidney-stone passing Santa, vengeful sheep, an Elvis impersonator, and a long- kept family secret and you’ve got “joy to the world” in true Texas fashion.

For my foodie friends out there, how about this one:
