SHORT-ATTENTION SPAN THEATER
Thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, tradition is out the window this holiday season. If you want to share yuletide joy with others and attend a seasonal performance in public, you’ll have to do something like meet up in individual cars, stay inside those cars and not linger too long before returning to quarantine. That’s exactly what Chico Theater Company has planned for their upcoming production, A Christmas Chaos, showing Nov. 27-19. This frenetic rendition of the Dickens classic is only 10 minutes long and will be presented under the stars behind the theater drive-in style, where carloads of revelers can tune into the performance as it’s broadcast to their vehicle’s FM radio.
SAT21
MERIAM PARK DRIVE-IN: Movies three nights a week at The
Barn in Meriam Park. Tonight: Jurassic Park. $25/car (4 or less); $35/car (5-8 people). Sat, 11/21, 7:15pm. Meriam
