ORANGE COUNTY, CA-Now in its third year, Theatre Out's riotously merry LAST CHRISTMAS I GAVE YOU MY HEART, BUT THE VERY NEXT DAY, YOU SAID YOU WERE GAY continues to slay its audiences with the naughtiest of shows likely to exist for the holidays. Like previous incarnations, it skewers those long-held traditions associated with the season, adding quite a bit of gay-ness to the party. Perhaps a reaction to the show's popularity, this version is a bit longer this year, adding more hearty belly laughs (even a song or two) to what is becoming the upstart theater company's signature holiday offering. The musical farce continues with performances at the Empire Theatre in downtown Santa Ana through December 19.

Ralph Miller, owner of the Bucks County Playhouse, is facing some financial difficulties at the moment. He has made one sole mortgage payment in over a year, and has declared bankruptcy to avoid selling the playhouse in August. Similar stories are appearing across the country as owners struggle to maintain their businesses in this economy, but Miller's case seems a bit more complicated than that: this is his third bankruptcy since 1992.
