Touchstone Theatre presents the latest in its Christmas City Follies series, the theater’s annual holiday-themed vaudeville show, filled with jolly mischief, merry melodies and holiday cheer.

Christmas City Follies XVIII is performed at Touchstone’s home theater, 321 E. Fourth St. in Bethlehem.

The show traditionally ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous.

Jp Jordan, Touchstone artistic director, has served as ringleader of the Christmas City Follies cast for the last 10 years.

“While we’ve certainly seen reoccurring ideas pop up over the years, it truly amazes me how deep this well is — it continues to feel fresh for both our performers and audiences,” said Jordan.

Rehearsals for the show began in early October.

“There’s much to say about the holidays because more than any other time of year our senses and emotions can become overwhelmed with the memories of a lifetime of holiday’s lived, and, quite simply, the spectacle of it all,” says Jordan. “The season, in many ways, highlights what it is to be human.”

On display in the Touchstone Gallery will be an exhibit of glass artwork and photography titled “exiSt - exit,” created by Draga Šušanj, a Catskill, New York-based artist whose work has been exhibited throughout the United States as well as in her hometown of Belgrade, Serbia.

Her work is in permanent collections of the Museum of American Glass in New Jersey and MOMA. Šušanj’s bicultural experiences inform her project-based environmental practice. Her joyful approach is evident in her work’s lush colors and intricate designs, all inspired by natural forms and surfaces.

The show runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. until Dec. 22. There will also be performances at 7 p.m. Sunday and 8 p.m. Dec. 20.

On Thursdays, Touchstone offers a pay-what-you-will ticket option at the door, as available, allowing walk-up patrons to name their own ticket price.
