Madeline Kicks Off TOY's 2008-2009 Season
To start off their 2008-2009 season, the Theatre of Youth is opening with a play that will captivate the children in the audience as their eyes follow the adventures of the well-known heroine Madeline in “Madeline’s Christmas.” With just a handful of performances before Christmas, be sure to get your tickets early so you don’t miss out on this holiday treat.
Opening night for the play is Friday, December 12th at 7 PM. There will also be performances on December 13th at 2 and 5:30 PM, December 14th at 2 PM, December 19th at 7 PM, December 20th at 2 and 5:30 PM, and December 21st at 2 PM. With such few performances, don’t let your child (or adult who’s a kid at heart) miss out on this trip to life in Paris, in a house covered with vines, where twelve little girls live in two straight lines.
The play is set on Christmas Eve in Paris and everyone is stuck in bed fighting the flu, except of course for Madeline, who is up to her usual antics. The only thing Madeline is fighting is sleep, as she attempts to stay awake long enough to catch a glimpse of Old Saint Nick. She rushes from her bed when she hears a clatter, expecting to see a jolly old man in a red suit, but only discovers the rug merchant, dropping off twelve special rugs. From there on out, it’s time for a few Christmas miracles that brings all the girls home for the holidays and returns them to school to celebrate a marvelous New Year’s Eve.
The play is being sponsored by Fisher-Price and directed by Meg Quinn. The play stars Megan Callahan, Tim Newell, Mary Kate O’Connell, Justine B. Rodriguez, Ashley Andrews, Lindsay Andrews, Annabel Bacon, Alexis Boehnlein, Janee Brown, Libby Cannon, Jillian Farrell, Regan Flemming, Morgan Parnitzke, Violet Perry, Samantha Rohloff. Tickets are $19 or $17 per person and can be purchased by calling 884-4400 ext 304. You can learn more about the theater, including group rates, here.

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am
