The Rat Pack, Zombies and Christmas Classics
It’s not all about Christmas this week. The touring show, “The Rat Pack Is Back” revives the Sinatra and Dean Martin days, the “Mythbusters” gang comes to town to share the TV show’s secrets, and First Stage goes very un-nativity with its zombie-filled play, “Maul of the Dead.”
