Took the kiddo to see “It’s a Wonderful Life” at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social which, for the non-Chicagoans among you, includes singing carols with Santa and a real-life organist.

If you’ve not seen Hundreds of Beavers, do yourself a favor and go watch it with a packed house. It’s spectacularly clever and fun.
