Mandatory Merriment: An Untitled Holiday Musical

Considering how the past decade has gone, who'd be surprised if a blizzard hit New Orleans? Such a catastrophe is at the center of Southern Rep's production, Mandatory Merriment, back by popular demand after last year's success. Spend some time with six strangers stranded at Benny's Tavern two days before Christmas who must endeavor, amid chaos, to keep up the cheer. $33–$50.
