'Who's Holiday!'

From the event description:

Ever wondered what little Cindy Lou Who's been up to after her successful heart-enlargement of the mean ol' Grinch? Well, this decidedly adult Dr. Seuss sequel has your answer -- and it's not all Who-pudding and roast beast. The now-grown Cindy Lou has sledded down a rough road, landing the once-adorable tot in a broken-down trailer on the side of snowy Mount Crumpit. Now, 45 years later, she'll recall the fateful events of that Christmas Eve night and beyond -- in Seussian rhyming couplets, of course -- in this off-Broadway hit coming to 3Below Theatres in San Jose.

When: Friday, Dec. 6, 7:30 p.m.
Where: 3Below Theaters, 288 Second St.
Price: $30

'The Humans'

From the event description:

Driven by empathy and humor, this Tony Award-winning play creates a hyper-realistic view of life and the complexities of the “American Dream.” Breaking with tradition, Erik Blake has brought his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. Unfolding over a single scene, "The Humans" is a “delirious tragicomedy” ("Chicago Sun-Times") by acclaimed young playwright Stephen Karam who “infuses the traditional kitchen-sink family drama with qualities of horror in his portentous and penetrating work of psychological unease” ("Variety"), creating an indelible American family portrait.

When: Friday, Dec. 6, 8 p.m.
Where: The Stage, 490 S. First St.
Price: $22.50

When: Friday, Dec. 6, 8 p.m.
Where: Tabard Theatre Co, 29 N. San Pedro St.
