Kid Astronaut at the Colorado Matters Holiday Extravaganza Dec. 4 at DU's Newman Center for the Performing Arts.

It’s a CPR tradition: a stage show full of talented Colorado performers. Kid Astronaut opens with a soulful "O Holy Night." For Hanukkah, Holocaust survivor Osi Sladek. Comedian Nancy Norton Easy-Bakes. Plus, an ode to Judy Garland, Mexican-American traditions, and why we can’t quit Denver’s King Cardinal. The Andy Hackbarth Band provides our soundtrack.
