Or at the Geffen Playhouse, Coney Island Christmas runs through the end of December.

A Jewish Christmas show for the whole family from Pulitzer Prize winner Donald Margulies.

Coney Island Christmas introduces us to Shirley Abramowitz, a young Jewish girl who (much to her immigrant parents’ exasperation) is cast as Jesus in the school’s Christmas pageant. As Shirley, now much older, recounts the memorable story to her great-granddaughter, the play captures a timeless and universal tale of what it means to be an American during the holidays.

Tickets range from $35.00 – $55.00; There is $4.00 parking (1.5 blocks away) at Palazzo Parking Structure at 1010 Glendon Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90024
