Christmas will be in full swing throughout the month of December on the stage of the Historic Paramount Theatre so if you can’t make one show, be prepared to take in another show.

One of the most anticipated show every year literally kicks off the month.

A Merry TubaChristmas returns for another expectant year on Dec. 1. This a chance for the big brass to show off as tuba enthusiasts from all over come together to play Christmas favorites.

Make it a weekend, by taking in Rhythmic Circus: Holiday Shuffle at 2 p.m. on Dec. 2.

This unique show, features a Stomp-type experience with a background of a seven-piece band. This might be one of the most upbeat holiday experiences you will enjoy all month long.
