Navigator Feature Story: 11 Unique Holiday Experiences Around Ohio 🎄

Santa Extravaganza At The Lazarus Building Will Transport You Back To Your Childhood 🎅🏽
I might be showing my age a little, but there was nothing quite like the holidays at Lazarus. If you’re looking to pass that magic onto your own kiddos, head downtown this weekend to the Santa Extravaganza at the Lazarus Building.

Sponsored by The Contemporary Theatre of Ohio
Get ready for the magic of the holiday season like never before with a unique retelling of the classic holiday tale “A Christmas Carol.” This one-person show brings the story to life in a virtuosic performance that will leave you spellbound. Featuring audience-favorite Angela Iannone (9 to 5, An Iliad), you will be transported to the timeless world of Scrooge, haunting spirits, and redemption. The show runs December 14-23. You can grab your tickets at thecontemporaryohio.org.
