Seen as deluded and dangerous by Macy’s vocational counselor, who plots to have Kris shanghaied to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital, Kris ends up in a court competency hearing. At stake is a little girl’s belief in Santa. In a dramatic decision, the court confirms Kris as the true Santa, allowing Susan and countless other children to experience the joy of childhood fantasy.

A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS

Newnan Theatre Company, Newnan Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m.; Sun., 3 p.m.

When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism he sees during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts, but this proves to be a frustrating endeavor. When an attempt to restore the proper holiday spirit with a forlorn little Christmas tree fails, he needs help from Linus to discover the real meaning of Christmas. Prices range from $10 to $17. Call 770.683.6282 or visit newnantheatre.org.

WARM UP: A VOICEPLAY HOLIDAY

The Donald W. Nixon Centre for the Performing & Visual Arts, Newnan 3 p.m.

VoicePlay returns to The Nixon Centre for the Arts to rock the house with an explosion of harmonious holiday sounds.

More than a concert, VoicePlay is an enthralling theatrical experience that magically recreates the orchestrated sound of an entire musical production with nothing but the human voice. Alternating between eras and styles to showcase the quintet’s amazing vocal feats, each show is laced with inventive and hilarious onstage theatrics. With more than 2.6 million YouTube views for their cover of “The Phantom of the Opera,” the group has played a part in the surging popularity of contemporary a cappella. Fun for all ages, VoicePlay must be heard to be believed. You’ll hear “Holiday Road,” “What’s This? (The Nightmare Before Christmas),” “Christmas Don’t Be Late,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Carol of The Bells” and “Frosty The Snowman” as you’ve never heard them before. Ticket are $15 to $20. Call 770.254.2787 or visit thenixoncentre.net. (See ad, page 9)
