The Wild Project has its own spirit of celebration for the holidays. These are shows strictly not for your youngsters. The original musical parody of Mad Men, "The Mad World of Miss Hathaway" features unlimited amounts of booze, broads and bawdy good times. Its return run is from Friday December 13th though Sunday December 16th. From the 19th through the 22nd, "Nicholas Gorham's White Hot Christmas," invites you to learn the true spirit of Christmas, which for this Hollywood star is money and glamour.
