For adults who'd enjoy some ribald holiday cheer, try munching on "Smorgaspork." This zany collection of cheerfully warped, holiday-related sketches and songs by Peggy Platt and Lisa Koch will feature some of the impish Seattle duo's favorite characters, including feuding country-music zanies, the Spudds, Dec. 2-26 at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center.
