The Old Globe Theatre’s “Dr. Seuss’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas!” begins performances on Wednesday, continuing through Dec. 31. This is the 26th year that the Globe and the Grinch have teamed up, meaning that some people who saw the show years ago as children may now have kids of their own to bring to the theater.
