Sun 20 Dec 2009 2:30 PM A CHRISTMAS STORY
THEATRE COPPELL Presents: A CHRISTMAS STORY – by Jean Shepherd. Adapted by Philip Grecian. Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself, but the consistent response is, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the nostalgic elements of the popular movie are here: the exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin & Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg. Truly a holiday classic! Performances are December 4th thru 20th at 8:00 p.m. Fridays & Saturdays, with Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. There will also be one special matinee performance on Saturday, December 19th at 3:00 p.m. Tickets are $14 ($12 for seniors & students) & may be purchased online at www.TheatreCoppell.com or by calling the box office at (972) 745-7719.

Sun 20 Dec 2009 6:30 PM Gloria Deo
A service of Lessons and Carols by Benjamin Harlan Presented by Grace Bible Church Sanctuary Choir The traditional Festival of Lessons and Carols was first held on Christmas Eve in 1918 at King’s College in Cambridge, England. The next year the Order of Service was revised and from then on the service has always begun with the hymn, “Once in Royal David’s City.” In the years to follow, carols were often changed and new carols were introduced, but the lessons and prayers have remained virtually intact from the beginning. The idea for a service of Lessons and Carols originated in 1880 when the Archbishop of Canterbury put together a service for Christmas Eve. The King’s College service became an accepted model and has been adapted again and again by other churches around the world. The main theme of the Service of Lessons and Carols is “the loving purposes of God” presented through the scripture readings. These readings provide both the structural pattern a

Double Vision: A View of Florence Past & Present is a Florentine rephotographic project funded by a 2008 Fulbright Grant and is based exclusively on the private collections of the Fratelli Alinari in Florence, Italy (the world’s oldest photo archive). Local artist, Amy Holmes George, retraced the steps of the Alinari photographers, visited significant sites within the city of Florence, rephotographed them from the same point of view using today’s digital technology and then printed the images in platinum/palladium, paying homage to an historical photographic process commonly employed during the time of the Alinari.

Heritage Farmstead Museum wants you to come out and play during Home School Day! By Angie Carroll For the third consecutive year the National Landmark Heritage Farmstead Museum in central Plano will offer a program specifically designed for children who are home schooled. The farmstead is a living example of North Texas History circa 1890 to 1940, walking on the grounds of the once 360 acre farmstead is literally like traveling back in time. There is no better way to learn about history than to see, hear, touch and feel the past. This year’s program will focus on the importance of a physically active life that was essential to good health and productive farming. Along with the traditional offerings at Home School Day the HFM will have several new presentations including a lesson in 1890’s children’s fitness, a wool spinning demonstration using wool from the farmsteads own sheep and a behind the scenes tour of the curatorial offices.

“At Camp Bow Wow it’s all about the dogs,” continued Copeland, “that’s why we’ve planned festivities dogs can dig right along with their parents. So bring your dog down to the party even if he hasn’t had a Camp Bow Wow interview yet. The pups that have passed their interview will be invited to run with the packs in our play yards. Unfortunately those that haven’t will be asked to remain leashed.”

Plano Senior High School will bring an innovative work to the community when its theatre department presents Henry Krieger's and Bill Russell's "Side Show." Behind its gorgeous music and carefully crafted lyrics is a story about two bright and beautiful young women who were joined together at the hip - literally. "Side Show" is a musical about Violet and Daisy Hilton, a real-life set of conjoined twins who were inseparably connected together for life. While only playing for 91 performances on Broadway, "Side Show" garnered wide critical acclaim and earned four Tony Award nominations in 1998, a tough season on Broadway with competition from "Ragtime," "The Lion King" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel." "Side Show" was nominated for Best Musical, Best Original Musical Score, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Actress in a Musical for both Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner who portrayed the Hilton twins.
