This classic holiday tale centers on a mischievous, bespectacled boy, Ralphie, who dreams of getting a BB-gun for Christmas. In the weeks before the big holiday, Ralphie, his friends and his family get into all kinds of situations — including run-ins with a bully with "yellow eyes," a tongue stuck to a flag pole, a bar of soap in the mouth, a garish leg lamp, a major award and a Chinese Christmas dinner. Directed by James Mierkey, Rated PG.

Mandala Workshops at Timberline Gallery October 29 and 30 by Judy DeRosa

Our Circular Life

Give yourself the gift of a restful mind.

In life we are learning about the whole self. We are not compartmentalized like a notebook from school. We can use the Mandala as a tool to go deeper into the preciousness of who we are becoming. Using art becomes wordless expansion of the soul. This is a creative expression and meditation. Your gift is to yourself for the creative mind. You do not have to be an artist to enjoy the benefits of creativity.

The end result of art is secondary to inner peace gained while making a Mandala.

About Rev. Dr. Judy DeRosa

As I learn more about the Circle of Life I see it is continually giving me new opportunities for growth. Reminding me to count the blessings of natural circles I see in the wildness of nature. A bird’s nest or the moon or stones at my feet. We are all connected in this circle of life.

Participants will use recycled images from magazines to collage onto their Mandalas. They can also bring their own magazines or book pages for their collages. Magazines and other images will also be provided. The process is done as a meditation.

This traveling family has been performing for centuries, this is their first time performing in California and they are coming to GCT! A feast for the senses in music, dance and comedy as this less than living performing group takes over our mountain theatre. Written and directed by Teena Hagerman. Rated PG.

This laugh-oriented, old-fashioned melodrama is wild, fast, and funny. It features a disreputable (and hilarious) villain who dispatches his adversaries with nefarious ease, seals his wife in a madhouse to steal her vast fortune, and battles a wicked countess in one of the most uproarious fight scenes ever staged. Abandoned wives, insolent servants, lawyers, hypochondriacs, and manly drawing masters parade across the stage in gales of comedy. Rated G. Directed by Cynthia McFann.
