However, if you’re in the mood something that features some off-color humor about what it's like work at a department store during the holiday season, then Keizer Homegrown Theater's rendition of the The Santaland Diaries might be just what you’re looking for. Performances are at 7 p.m. on Fridays, Dec. 6 and 13 and Saturday, Dec. 7. Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. will be on Dec. 8 and 15. On Saturday, Dec. 14, the performance will start at 5 p.m.— which will give people the opportunity to walk down to River Road and enjoy the Keizer Holiday Lights Parade at 7 p.m. Traditionally, Keizer Homegrown Theater has family-friendly productions fi ll up the majority of their season.
