Holidaze malaise

Like many of you, I've been recovering from the Thanksgiving holiday and frantically trying to get energized for the next round of holiday frenzy. Apart from gritting our teeth at the table and getting tipsy on brut champagne, what do we Las Vegans have to look forward to this season?

Las Vegas Philharmonic's All New Holiday Program
That's right - it's all new! David Itkin isn't telling anyone about what's on the program, but I can hint that Andy Williams may be an influence. Featuring the Las Vegas Master Singers and three soloists.
When: Dec. 8 @ 8 p.m. and Dec. 9 @ 2 p.m.
Where: Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall, on the UNLV campus

Nevada Ballet Theater - The Nutcracker
If you like Tchaikovsky and pink tights, you'll like The Nutcracker. This has been a staple of the Ballet for years, maybe even decades? There are several performances, so there really is no excuse to miss it.
Click here for more information because I can't be bothered to write down all the dates.

Rainbow Co. Youth Theatre - Wizard of Oz
Check out the Phil's Director of Marketing shaking his tail as the Cowardly Lion in this iconic American musical. I say this because he's my boss and reads my blog. Oh and I used to be very involved with Rainbow Co. Go theatre!
When: Dec. 7, 8 , 13, 14 & 15 @ 7 p.m. and Dec. 9, 15, & 16 @ 2 p.m.
Where: Charleston Heights Arts Center

Kwanzaa 2007 "Loving the Lonely"
A new play by Keith Antar Mason depicts culture, love of family, and the celebration of Kwanzaa.
