Tomáseen Foley’s “A Celtic Christmas” is on the program tonight at the Van Duzer Theatre at 7 p.m. ($25-$50). Now in its 29th year of production, this mix of storytelling, music and dance evokes the mid-20th century bygone days of holiday celebration as experienced by the people of Western Ireland. Enjoy the folklore and fun from a time before mass entertainment, and a place steeped in a rich celebration of the Nativity. At the same hour across the safety corridor, Synapsis is kicking off its 20th anniversary weekend celebration with a dance party show of Balkan music, courtesy of Chubritza. No set price or tickets for this event, but donations are welcome and will be collected at the door.
