Truth's A Dog Must Be a Kennel
The Fool leaves Shakespeare's King Lear before the blinding. Before the killing starts. In this new solo play, Tim Crouch draws on ideas of virtual reality to send him back to the future of the play he left. Back to a world laid waste by division and trauma; a world where the revolution will take place on a screen. Truth’s a Dog Must to Kennel switches between stand-up and an audacious act of collective imagining. It’s a celebration of live performance and a skewering of the state we’re in now.

Titanique
When the music of Céline Dion makes sweet Canadian love with the eleven-time Oscar®-winning film Titanic, you get Titanique, a musical celebration that turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical and joyful slay-fest. Want to find out what really happened to Jack and Rose on that fateful night? Just leave it to Céline Dion to casually hijack a Titanic Museum tour and enchant the audience with her totally wild take, recharting the course of Titanic’s beloved moments and characters with her iconic song catalog. A one-of-a-kind musical voyage bursting with nostalgia, hilarity and heart, Titanique features powerhouse voices in show-stopping performances of such hits as “My Heart Will Go On,” “All By Myself”, and “To Love You More,” backed by the unparalleled energy of a full live band.

3) 5 NYC Boroughs in 5 Days
During the Holiday Break
Farm, Ferries, Foods & Holiday Lights
Here are some family-friendly activities in all five boroughs each weekday of the holiday break, including on Christmas Day. From farms and ferries to lights, light fare, and light shopping, there’s a little something for the entire family to enjoy throughout the week.
Sunday OR Monday (Christmas Day & Christmas Day Observed) STATEN ISLAND – Just like the FREE Staten Island Ferry, bring the family to the NYC Winter Lantern Festival at SIUH Park in Staten Island where kids GO FREE and it’s open on both holidays. Kaleido Arts & Entertainment Group, the creators of the NYC Winter Lantern Festival, and the Staten Island Advance/SILive.com are gifting FREE admission to kids 12 and under to “Journey to the East”, located steps from the Staten Island Ferry and Empire Outlets. The spectacular show of lights at the ballpark features over 1,000 handmade Chinese Lanterns created by over 100 artists. Visitors can wander through a world inspired by Chinese myths and legends. Kids 12 and under when accompanied by a paying adult can attend the festival of lanterns for FREE just by using the code “SIAKids” at checkout.
Tuesday (12/27) MANHATTAN – Head to Battery Park and sail to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island through Statue City Cruises. The Crown is sold out, but you can still head halfway up to the pedestal and enjoy free admission to the Statue of Liberty Museum and Ellis Island Immigration Museum with every Statue City Cruises ticket purchase. Trace your family heritage on Ellis Island, learn the history of the Statue of Liberty and take in those amazing panoramic views.
Wednesday (12/28) BROOKLYN – Sail the Hudson on NYC Ferry over to Brooklyn to enjoy the panoramic views of the Harbor from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade or Brooklyn Bridge Park. Enjoy the great outdoors, grab a bite along the waterfront or just enjoy the scenery. And you might even stumble upon some cool holiday light displays and decorations along the way.
Thursday (12/29) QUEENS – Escape the hustle and bustle of NYC without leaving the City by heading to Queens County Farm Museum (QCFM). QCFM showcases the 325-year history of agriculture as a way of life in New York City and is an NYC Landmark. QCFM offers free admission 354 days per year and hosts a wide variety of acclaimed education programs and public events, including being NYC’s second Winter Lantern Festival location. With more than 47 acres to explore, make sure to enjoy some Pumpkin and Spice (we’re talking about the farm’s pigs), along with other goats and furry friends to see, feed and enjoy.
Friday (12/30) BRONX – Head to the busiest shopping corridor in the Bronx in the Fordham Road Business Improvement District where more than 300 small businesses from jewelry and clothing stores to children’s toys, electronics and other unique NYC staples await. After a busy day of shopping, head nearby to the Bronx Little Italy where for over 100 years, the neighborhood has welcomed generations of families into their local, family-owned small businesses to dine on authentic Italian food and shop for all the holiday groceries one may need to chef up an Arthur Avenue-worthy dinner at home. Enjoy an early New Year’s dinner with loved ones too.
