So many peace-loving, flower-powered Baby Boomers were devastated by the election of Richard Nixon. The same goes for the wide-eyed Millennials, who as recently minted adults cast their very first presidential votes for Barack Obama, only to be deflated by the rise of Donald Trump.

So many peace-loving, flower-powered Baby Boomers were devastated by the election of Richard Nixon. The same goes for the wide-eyed Millennials, who as recently minted adults cast their very first presidential votes for Barack Obama, only to be deflated by the rise of Donald Trump. In 1982, a cohort of Gen-X-ers—raised by successful hippy parents on Manhattan’s Upper West Side—find themselves in a serious crisis of confidence as Jimmy Carter is routed by his Republican challenger, a Hollywood B-lister. This play follows three lost souls for 48 confusing hours at the dawn of the Reagan Era.

San Jose’s Northside Theatre Company had a rough year. Back in February, the Anderson Reservoir spilled over, causing portions of Coyote Creek to overflow. Flood waters hit the Olinder Community Center—home to the theater company for three decades—particularly hard. Northside had to cancel productions and for a while it was unclear whether they’d be up and running in time for their annual production of A Christmas Carol, a show they’ve put on since they opened. Fortunately, the repairs were completed this fall and Northside is up and running again. The play runs through Dec. 24. Bah humbug!
