It looks like a typo on the Kennedy Center’s schedule but it’s not a mistake: The 44-year-old Lar Lubovitch Dance Company makes its debut at the center tonight. Since 1968, Lubovitch has been quietly choreographing ballets, figure-skating routines, and Broadway musicals, all while running his own company. In these recent recession years, Lubovitch has grown his flock by luring dancers away from better-known companies, like Alvin Ailey and Mark Morris. The result is a troupe both beautiful and formidable. Read more >>> The company performs tonight and Friday at 8 p.m. at the Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater, 2700 F St. NW. $22-$65.

OH AND ALSO
December is nigh—-and the holiday shows are already upon us. Faction of Fools’ take on holiday fare, though, is a little outside the box: The theater company’s “A Commedia Christmas Carol” is based on Dickens’ book, but true to Faction of Fools’ style, goes a little loopy with masks and acrobatics. It starts tonight with a pay-what-you-can preview. The pay-what-you-can preview begins at 8 p.m. at the Elstad Auditorium at Gallaudet University, 800 Florida Ave. NE.
