Also, there was an apartment downstairs in our house and my parents would rent it to people that would help take care of me, so throughout my entire life there were adults other than my parents that were really involved in my upbringing, and usually they were gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So you were more like the “\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mowgli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mowgli\u003c/a>” of the gay \u003ci>Jungle Book\u003c/i>?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly.

Do you remember the first time you took on an authority figure over what you saw as injustice?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time I confronted an authority figure that wasn’t my parents was in fifth grade, when my teacher put a Christmas tree in the classroom. The school was covered in Christmas decorations and we were asked to sing Christmas carols. I’m Jewish and didn’t have anything to do with Christmas, so the teacher’s weird idea of an attempt at inclusion was to invite me to make the star at the top of the tree a Star of David. [Laughs] I was like, “No! That’s not acceptable!” And it escalated to the point of my parents having to talk to the principal about it and stuff like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11168567\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11168567\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/Nato-GReen.jpg\" alt=\"Green on Stage\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/Nato-GReen.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/Nato-GReen-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green on stage. \u003ccite>(Courtesy: Nato Green)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Do you remember a specific moment that inspired you to want to be a comedian?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I saw a lot of people come up through the ranks in San Francisco and launch, including Arj Barker and Margaret Cho. When they came up, they were the first people that I felt like were from my generation and were talking about a world that I lived in. Other comics I recognized as being funny but because they were older than me, they would talk about when they were kids and it was not something I had experienced. Arj and Margaret were a big part of showing me that people like me could do this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of moments that come to mind, where I remember being really impressed how powerful comedy can be. Will Durst released a political comedy album called \u003ci>Strange Bedfellows\u003c/i> in 1987 that was amazing, and I memorized it. One time at Cobb’s I was watching Greg Behrendt middle for Greg Proops and during Behrendt’s set, there was an old couple of tourists who were angry about the two-drink minimum. They were complaining to their waitress and she was like “Sorry, but there are signs everywhere when you come in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It blew up; the man threatened the waitress and then, in the middle of Behrendt’s set, the man went up to the stage and started yelling about the injustice of a two-drink minimum. It really upset the audience and they couldn’t get back into the show.

Also, there was an apartment downstairs in our house and my parents would rent it to people that would help take care of me, so throughout my entire life there were adults other than my parents that were really involved in my upbringing, and usually they were gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>So you were more like the “\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mowgli\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mowgli\u003c/a>” of the gay \u003ci>Jungle Book\u003c/i>?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Exactly. And there were bears that would sing songs. At one point their nickname for me was “The Contessa.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve had a long career in union organizing (14 years) and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_UsJ4xFPmw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">political activism\u003c/a>. Do you remember the first time you took on an authority figure over what you saw as injustice?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first time I confronted an authority figure that wasn’t my parents was in fifth grade, when my teacher put a Christmas tree in the classroom. The school was covered in Christmas decorations and we were asked to sing Christmas carols. I’m Jewish and didn’t have anything to do with Christmas, so the teacher’s weird idea of an attempt at inclusion was to invite me to make the star at the top of the tree a Star of David. [Laughs] I was like, “No! That’s not acceptable!” And it escalated to the point of my parents having to talk to the principal about it and stuff like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11168567\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11168567\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/Nato-GReen.jpg\" alt=\"Green on Stage\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/Nato-GReen.jpg 640w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/12/Nato-GReen-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green on stage. \u003ccite>(Courtesy: Nato Green)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Do you remember a specific moment that inspired you to want to be a comedian?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I saw a lot of people come up through the ranks in San Francisco and launch, including Arj Barker and Margaret Cho. When they came up, they were the first people that I felt like were from my generation and were talking about a world that I lived in. Other comics I recognized as being funny but because they were older than me, they would talk about when they were kids and it was not something I had experienced. Arj and Margaret were a big part of showing me that people like me could do this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a lot of moments that come to mind, where I remember being really impressed how powerful comedy can be. Will Durst released a political comedy album called \u003ci>Strange Bedfellows\u003c/i> in 1987 that was amazing, and I memorized it. One time at Cobb’s I was watching Greg Behrendt middle for Greg Proops and during Behrendt’s set, there was an old couple of tourists who were angry about the two-drink minimum. They were complaining to their waitress and she was like “Sorry, but there are signs everywhere when you come in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It blew up; the man threatened the waitress and then, in the middle of Behrendt’s set, the man went up to the stage and started yelling about the injustice of a two-drink minimum. It really upset the audience and they couldn’t get back into the show. Then Greg Proops came on, and he unleashed a full 10 minutes about the kind of horrible person that ignores the signs about a two-drink minimum and decides the best course of action is to threaten the waitress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People laughed so hard — I was practically in tears.

Opal, a well-appointed nightspot in Mountain View, is offering Bond fans the chance to sashay to the music that’s helped to make the long-running franchise one of the most revered in pop culture history. Whether you’re attired in Bond Girl chic, a bespoke tuxedo or your regular street clothes, this dance party is a great way to decompress after seeing the latest Bond flick, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Spectre\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, showing just the down the road at the local Century 16. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Friday, Dec. 11 – Sunday, Dec. 20: California Revels presents \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://californiarevels.org/2015_christmas-revels\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Christmas Revels: A Venetian Masque\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at the Scottish Rite Theater, Oakland. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the past 30 years, the California Revels has injected a fat dose of folk culture into the local holiday season — and has become as beloved a fixture as a favorite tree ornament in the process. This year’s event, which brings together pros like Jeff Raz and Robert Sicular with amateur performers from all over the community, takes its cue from the \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Commedia dell’Arte performance traditions of the early 17th century. The schtick revolves around a bunch of ragtag comedians as they attempt to sabotage a classy masque thrown by the Doge of Venice.

But it’s a “yes, and…”-type situation: The typical holiday season fare makes up only a small part of what’s on offer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was reminded of this fact over the weekend when, in a single day, I went from the kitsch jewel that is the annual \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.dickensfair.com/\">\u003cb>Dickens Fair\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at the Cow Palace to a head-spinning, hip-shimmying celebration of Cuban food, music and motion at \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://dancemission.com/performances/upcoming.html#cubacaribe\">\u003cb>Dance Mission Theater\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Watching Bay Area residents of all ages and ethnic backgrounds dressed up in bonnets and tailcoats, practicing their English accents, Morris dancing steps and sea-chantey singing, filled me with a kind of awe. There is such dedication and passion in the Dickens Fair community. And to go from this longstanding evocation of a quasi-mythical Christmas of yore in all its mustachioed, Victorian glory, to a very different yet equally committed cultural time-warp — \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a recreation of \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a night out at Havana’s fabled Tropicana nightclub — was deft proof of the depth and diversity of the Bay Area’s holiday season nightlife.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The organizers of the latter event (\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CubaCaribe and Dance Mission Theater)\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">drew on members of the local Cuban community as well as nubile dancers imported from the homeland to conjure the spirit of the Caribbean island. The costumes were lurid and sparkly, the energy of the performances, unflagging. I staggered home, happy and exhausted, with rum on my tongue and the rhythm of the rumba in my ears.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With nods to shows that are all about Christmas, productions that capture the holiday spirit more obliquely, and events that apparently have little to do with the festive season beyond being scheduled to run in it, this week’s performing arts selections hopefully reflect more of the vitality and breadth of our region’s holiday time programming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Now through Saturday, Dec. 19: Brian Copeland’s \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://themarsh.org/jewelrybox/brian-copeland-3/\">\u003cb>\u003ci>The Jewelry Box\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at The Marsh, San Francisco. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you’re a 6-year-old kid growing up in the East Bay in the 1970s, how do you go about scrimping together the astronomical sum of $11.97 in order to buy your mom the ultimate Christmas gift? That’s the challenge facing the young protagonist in this autobiographical one-man show by Brian Copeland, the creator of long-running solo theater hits like \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not a Genuine Black Man\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Copeland is a wry, hilarious observer of his own childhood and surroundings. But there’s also a serious core to what’s essentially a heartwarming holiday show — especially in the way the performer describes the unsettling (and sadly still prescient) economic and racial disparities of Bay Area life 40 years ago. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11109950\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11109950\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-800x410.jpg\" alt=\"Smuin Christmas Ballet\" width=\"800\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-800x410.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-400x205.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-1180x605.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-1920x984.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-960x492.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smuin Christmas Ballet \u003ccite>(Photo: Chris Hardy/Smuin Ballet)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Now through Sunday, Dec. 27: Smuin Ballet presents \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://smuinballet.org/buy-tickets-for-the-20152016-season/holiday-dance-program-the-christmas-ballet/\">\u003cb>\u003ci>The Christmas Ballet\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at various locations throughout the Bay Area. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Smuin Ballet has been presenting this holiday tradition for more than 20 years.

This year’s production include a couple of fresh segments — a take on the beloved Christmas carol “Joy to the World” by company member \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">dancer Nicole Haskins and choreographer-in-residence Amy Seiwert’s setting of “Home for the Holidays.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Wednesday, Dec. 2 – Saturday, Jan. 2: Theatreworks presents \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://my.theatreworks.org/single/PSDetail.aspx?psn=3067\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Emma \u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb>at the Lucie Stern Theatre, Palo Alto. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In January 1814, when Jane Austen embarked upon \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emma, \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">her novel about a young woman’s misguided attempts to play Cupid, the writer reportedly said, “I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.” On the surface, composer/lyricist Paul Gordon’s bubbly take on the character is way more positive. Yet while Gordon’s 2007 musical (getting a re-run at Theatreworks, which premiered the piece in 2007) is on the whole a lovely, sugar-dusted confection — aided by the frosted pastel hues and clean lines of the Regency country manor–inspired set and the truffle-contoured costumes — shadows fitfully lurk under those empire-lined petticoats. Austen’s acerbic social commentary can’t help but smudge the musical’s shiny patina: The song “Hartfield” succinctly captures the pettiness, boredom, and claustrophobia of life around Emma’s Highbury home, while the ensemble number “Relations” (about the pros — and superficial cons — of being well-connected by birth) serves to highlight 19th-century class issues.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11109956\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11109956\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-800x377.jpeg\" alt=\"Sarah Shelton Mann\" width=\"800\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-800x377.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-400x188.jpeg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-1180x556.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-1920x905.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-960x452.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Shelton Mann \u003ccite>(Photo: Robbie Sweeney)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Friday, Dec 4 – Saturday, Dec. 5: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ybca.org/erasing-time\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Sarah Shelton Mann: Erasing Time\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are few figures who’ve exerted as great an influence on the Bay Area experimental performance scene as the multi-award-winning choreographer Sarah Shelton Mann. So it’s fitting that the first-ever retrospective of the artist’s career should be an epic one. During each of the two marathon, five-hour-long events at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts this weekend, Mann will direct, live in the space, some of her closest and longest-running collaborators in a world premiere that brings together dance, spoken word, music, and video installations. The event also includes a reimagining of one of Shelton Mann’s most seminal works, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Religare\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, from 1986. Bay Area performance stalwarts like Keith Hennessy, Jess Curtis and Kim Epifano made up the original cast of this desolate, violent, quasi-ritualistic piece; those same artists (plus many more) are part of YBCA’s celebration of Shelton Mann’s career.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Friday, Dec 4 – Sunday, Jan. 10: Shotgun Players present \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"https://shotgunplayers.org/Online/mousetrap\">\u003cb>\u003ci>The Mousetrap\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at The Ashby Stage, Berkeley. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For anyone who’s already had their fill of red-nosed reindeers, sugarplum fairies and their ilk this holiday season, the Berkeley-based company Shotgun Players has the perfect antidote in the shape of theater history’s most famous murder-mystery — and longest running show of any kind — \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mousetrap\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Agatha Christie’s comedic 1952 potboiler investigates the fallout of a gruesome crime committed on the premises of a remote guest house. The fantastical whodunnit famously ends with a far-out twist — one which audiences are traditionally asked to keep to themselves. Shotgun Players revels in presenting holiday programming that’s just enough outside the realms of the typical fare to broaden the audience’s palette without putting them off their Christmas hams entirely. And this show, helmed by the company’s artistic director, Patrick Dooley, appears to fit the mandate. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And a few more suggestions:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Wednesday, Dec. 2 – Thursday Dec. 10: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://sfoasis.com/event.cfm?id=156408&cart\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Absolutely Fabulous Live!: The Holiday Episodes\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at Oasis, San Francisco\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thursday, Dec. 3 – Saturday, Dec. 5: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcurran.com/event/notes-of-a-native-song/\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Notes to a Native Song\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at The Curran Theatre, San Francisco\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thursday, Dec 3 – Sunday, Dec. 20 \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.hillbarntheatre.org/shows/fiddler-on-the-roof/\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Fiddler on the Roof\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at Hillbarn Theatre, Foster City\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But it’s a “yes, and…”-type situation: The typical holiday season fare makes up only a small part of what’s on offer.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was reminded of this fact over the weekend when, in a single day, I went from the kitsch jewel that is the annual \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.dickensfair.com/\">\u003cb>Dickens Fair\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at the Cow Palace to a head-spinning, hip-shimmying celebration of Cuban food, music and motion at \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://dancemission.com/performances/upcoming.html#cubacaribe\">\u003cb>Dance Mission Theater\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Watching Bay Area residents of all ages and ethnic backgrounds dressed up in bonnets and tailcoats, practicing their English accents, Morris dancing steps and sea-chantey singing, filled me with a kind of awe. There is such dedication and passion in the Dickens Fair community. And to go from this longstanding evocation of a quasi-mythical Christmas of yore in all its mustachioed, Victorian glory, to a very different yet equally committed cultural time-warp — \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a recreation of \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">a night out at Havana’s fabled Tropicana nightclub — was deft proof of the depth and diversity of the Bay Area’s holiday season nightlife.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The organizers of the latter event (\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CubaCaribe and Dance Mission Theater)\u003c/span> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">drew on members of the local Cuban community as well as nubile dancers imported from the homeland to conjure the spirit of the Caribbean island. The costumes were lurid and sparkly, the energy of the performances, unflagging. I staggered home, happy and exhausted, with rum on my tongue and the rhythm of the rumba in my ears.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That’s the challenge facing the young protagonist in this autobiographical one-man show by Brian Copeland, the creator of long-running solo theater hits like \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Not a Genuine Black Man\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Copeland is a wry, hilarious observer of his own childhood and surroundings. But there’s also a serious core to what’s essentially a heartwarming holiday show — especially in the way the performer describes the unsettling (and sadly still prescient) economic and racial disparities of Bay Area life 40 years ago. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11109950\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11109950\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-800x410.jpg\" alt=\"Smuin Christmas Ballet\" width=\"800\" height=\"410\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-800x410.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-400x205.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-1180x605.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-1920x984.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/The-Christmas-Ballet-2-Licht-Benshn_Chris-Hardy-e1448498088485-960x492.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Smuin Christmas Ballet \u003ccite>(Photo: Chris Hardy/Smuin Ballet)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Now through Sunday, Dec. 27: Smuin Ballet presents \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://smuinballet.org/buy-tickets-for-the-20152016-season/holiday-dance-program-the-christmas-ballet/\">\u003cb>\u003ci>The Christmas Ballet\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at various locations throughout the Bay Area. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Smuin Ballet has been presenting this holiday tradition for more than 20 years.

This year’s production include a couple of fresh segments — a take on the beloved Christmas carol “Joy to the World” by company member \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">dancer Nicole Haskins and choreographer-in-residence Amy Seiwert’s setting of “Home for the Holidays.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Wednesday, Dec. 2 – Saturday, Jan. 2: Theatreworks presents \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://my.theatreworks.org/single/PSDetail.aspx?psn=3067\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Emma \u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb>at the Lucie Stern Theatre, Palo Alto. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In January 1814, when Jane Austen embarked upon \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Emma, \u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">her novel about a young woman’s misguided attempts to play Cupid, the writer reportedly said, “I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.” On the surface, composer/lyricist Paul Gordon’s bubbly take on the character is way more positive. Yet while Gordon’s 2007 musical (getting a re-run at Theatreworks, which premiered the piece in 2007) is on the whole a lovely, sugar-dusted confection — aided by the frosted pastel hues and clean lines of the Regency country manor–inspired set and the truffle-contoured costumes — shadows fitfully lurk under those empire-lined petticoats. Austen’s acerbic social commentary can’t help but smudge the musical’s shiny patina: The song “Hartfield” succinctly captures the pettiness, boredom, and claustrophobia of life around Emma’s Highbury home, while the ensemble number “Relations” (about the pros — and superficial cons — of being well-connected by birth) serves to highlight 19th-century class issues.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11109956\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11109956\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-800x377.jpeg\" alt=\"Sarah Shelton Mann\" width=\"800\" height=\"377\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-800x377.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-400x188.jpeg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-1180x556.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-1920x905.jpeg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/1-Sara-Shelton-Mann_credit_Robbie-Sweeney-e1448498523341-960x452.jpeg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Shelton Mann \u003ccite>(Photo: Robbie Sweeney)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Friday, Dec 4 – Saturday, Dec. 5: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ybca.org/erasing-time\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Sarah Shelton Mann: Erasing Time\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are few figures who’ve exerted as great an influence on the Bay Area experimental performance scene as the multi-award-winning choreographer Sarah Shelton Mann. So it’s fitting that the first-ever retrospective of the artist’s career should be an epic one. During each of the two marathon, five-hour-long events at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts this weekend, Mann will direct, live in the space, some of her closest and longest-running collaborators in a world premiere that brings together dance, spoken word, music, and video installations. The event also includes a reimagining of one of Shelton Mann’s most seminal works, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Religare\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, from 1986. Bay Area performance stalwarts like Keith Hennessy, Jess Curtis and Kim Epifano made up the original cast of this desolate, violent, quasi-ritualistic piece; those same artists (plus many more) are part of YBCA’s celebration of Shelton Mann’s career.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Friday, Dec 4 – Sunday, Jan. 10: Shotgun Players present \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"https://shotgunplayers.org/Online/mousetrap\">\u003cb>\u003ci>The Mousetrap\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at The Ashby Stage, Berkeley. \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">For anyone who’s already had their fill of red-nosed reindeers, sugarplum fairies and their ilk this holiday season, the Berkeley-based company Shotgun Players has the perfect antidote in the shape of theater history’s most famous murder-mystery — and longest running show of any kind — \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mousetrap\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Agatha Christie’s comedic 1952 potboiler investigates the fallout of a gruesome crime committed on the premises of a remote guest house. The fantastical whodunnit famously ends with a far-out twist — one which audiences are traditionally asked to keep to themselves. Shotgun Players revels in presenting holiday programming that’s just enough outside the realms of the typical fare to broaden the audience’s palette without putting them off their Christmas hams entirely. And this show, helmed by the company’s artistic director, Patrick Dooley, appears to fit the mandate. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And a few more suggestions:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Wednesday, Dec. 2 – Thursday Dec. 10: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://sfoasis.com/event.cfm?id=156408&cart\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Absolutely Fabulous Live!: The Holiday Episodes\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at Oasis, San Francisco\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Thursday, Dec. 3 – Saturday, Dec. 5: \u003c/b>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfcurran.com/event/notes-of-a-native-song/\">\u003cb>\u003ci>Notes to a Native Song\u003c/i>\u003c/b>\u003c/a>\u003cb> at The Curran Theatre, San Francisco\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
