Rockin' Christmas Party
Who: WaterTower Theatre
What: Revue of R&B Christmas songs of the 40s, 60s, 70s, and 80s
When: November 29 - December 23
Where: 15650 Addison Road, Addison, TX 75001
For more info: http://www.watertowertheatre.org/mainstage.asp#1
I'm not going to lie to you, the only reason I'm posting this is because one of my classmates from high school, the lovely and talented Chimberly Carter, is one of the performers.
From their website:
You asked for it. You begged for it. And now it’s back! After a three year hiatus, Rockin’ Christmas Party returns to the WaterTower stage. Six of the hippest performers in town and a swingin’ live band “rock around the Christmas tree" as they groove to the Top 40 hits of the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. Grab your hairspray, platform shoes, and Santa hat – and let the cast of Rockin’ Christmas Party “sock it to ya!" Rockin' Christmas Party is supported in part by Atmos Energy and Town North Bank. -Dave Steakley

Cheap Date Alert #7
What: The NOTcracker (modern dance performance)
When: December 8, 2007 @ 3pm
Where: Dallas Museum of Art (Atrium Cafe), 1717 N. Harwood Street, Dallas, TX 75201
Cost: FREE (but you may still have to pay museum admission $10/person; call ahead to verify)
Contact: 214.922.1200
From DallasNews.com:
No snow falls on the Barefoot Brigade's NOTcracker, and no mice invade, either. Resolutely opposed to anything remotely like The Nutcracker, these modern dance companies celebrate the season in their own style. Kimberly Bland from Chiaroscuro Dance Company, for example, performs To the Sea: Metamorphosis of an Ice Sculpture, described as the "odyssey of an ice sculpture as she melts, evaporates into the atmosphere, and rains down into the ocean." Muscle Memory Dance Theatre goes in for "abstract tutus" in Embellish. Other groups include Armstrong/Bergeron Dance Company, Contemporary Dance/Fort Worth, BecklesDancing Company, Dallas Dance Company, 3/A Modern Dance Company and Phase 2 Dance Ensemble. The performance takes place at the DMA's Atrium Cafe. – MARGARET PUTNAM / Special Contributor

Pardon My Absence
I can't believe that it's been three months since I posted to the blog. Please forgive my absence. Between work, school, and travel, I haven't been still long enough to post anything. Fortunately, school is on hiatus and I have obliterated my vacation leave at work, so for the next few weeks, I ought to be back to normal. I may not be able to vouch for all these events, but at least I can keep you "in the know."
Happy Holidays!
