The Chris White Jazz Trio plays Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack live at Lincoln Park Zoo on Sunday, December 6, with two shows aimed at families. The 3 p.m. matinee in the Pepper Family Wildlife Center includes hot cocoa and cookies, dancing with Snoopy, a special appearance by Santa, and admission to ZooLights after the performance ($63 nonmembers, $50.40 members). The 6 p.m. evening show at Café Brauer includes the concert and a Snoopy appearance but not ZooLights ($38 nonmembers, $30.40 members; VIP reserved seating $53). A cash bar and light snacks are sold at both. It is a good pick for kids who like to dance and for parents who grew up with the TV special. A separate 8 p.m. show the same night is adults only (18+).
