$15 for Two Tickets to Blackout Theatre’s "A Christmas Carol" at the VSA North Fourth Arts Center (Up to $30 Value)
Watching live theater is like interviewing for a job: though multiple costume changes can be distracting, there’s nothing a fake British accent can’t fix. Witness the magic of the stage with today’s GrouponLive deal: for $15, you get two general-admission tickets to Blackout Theatre’s production of A Christmas Carol at the VSA North Fourth Art Center (up to a $30 value). Tickets are good from December 2 to 11. Shows run Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Blackout Theatre works its ensemble magic to create original works that put fresh comic spins on familiar plays. This holiday season, the collective’s ambidextrous minds embark on their most ambitious effort to date with an original, ensemble-created adaptation of A Christmas Carol . Stripping the classic of its stuffy Victorian setting, the troupe transplants the tale to St. Louis in the 1930s, where a colorful cast of seven strangers is stranded on Christmas Eve. The group amuses themselves by regaling the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, leading the characters to appreciate the spirit of Christmas and the superiority of American-made Santas. Imaginations run wild as the play erupts in soundscapes and original music composed by famed Albuquerque musician Monica Demarco. Family-friendly humor, indomitable holiday spirit, and arresting large-scale puppets flesh out the tale, garnering warmth, laugh, and ectoplasm-dripping hugs from Charles Dickens’s ghost.

$5 for Holiday Olé Shopping Outing for Two on November 20 Hosted by the Junior League of Albuquerque ($10 Value)
It is better to give than to receive, which is why people who give themselves a gift must regift it to themselves in order to overcome the despair of receiving it. Break out of a perpetual loop with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get two tickets to the Holiday Olé shopping event on Sunday, November 20 hosted by the Junior League of Albuquerque . The event will be held at Hotel Albuquerque from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Holiday Olé’s lineup of 60 of Albuquerque’s top vendors conquers lengthy gift lists while raising funds to combat hunger in the Albuquerque area. Shoppers can peruse intelligence-bolstering gifts by Discovery Toys or engage in a lively discussion with an opinionated smock from The Sassy Apron. Prettifying products by Mary Kay Cosmetics stuff stockings without clogging pores, and the many cocoa-laced treats at the Chocolate Cartel satiate holiday sweet teeth. Otherwise, visitors and their children can simply shout their present demands to Santa Claus himself in the presence of notarized photo paper. Benevolent shoppers can also enter their names or Winston Churchill fan-fiction pennames into raffles before sampling delicious fare from local vendors. Proceeds from the event benefit The Storehouse and Rio Grande Food Project .
