Gift exchange

The “G” in But Don’t Sing the G Word stands for gifts in this compact new musical comedy by Celebration Arts artistic director James Wheatley. The show is set in a town where Christmas gifts have been banned—but of course, that kind of pledge tends to fall by the wayside, both in real life and in holiday shows. 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 2 p.m. Sunday; $10-$15. Celebration Arts, 4469 D Street; (916) 455-2787; www.celebrationarts.net.
