There are many ways people celebrate the holiday season in Escondido. If you are in need of an family-friendly activity, a Christmas-themed play is a great way to get into the spirit of the holiday season. Tinseltown Christmas is a musical being performed at the Patio Playhouse Community Theatre. Performances take place from November 20th to December 20th on Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm.

This play is about two disagreeable neighbors named Monica and Steve who don't enjoy living next to each other. They are however, able to agree on the uselessness of Christmas in their lives along with people's disingenuous Christmas cheer that comes with the season.

As in the classic story A Christmas Carol, ghosts from the past come to change the tune of the humbugs. This time the ghosts are from Hollywood's golden era. They include Jimmy Stewart, Judy Garland, Natalie Wood, and Bing Crosby. These spectral stars do more than drum up yuletide cheer. They also come to cook up romance between the two.

This play is suitable for the whole family. Come join the actors in a night of fun and song! Patio Playhouse Community Theatre is located at 116 S Kalmia Street, Escondido, CA 92025 between Vinz Wine Bar and Continental Deli.
