Directed by Margi Griffiths

It’s Christmas Eve in America’s heartland, and radio host Greta Gundlarson is preparing for the telethon performance that will save the radio station. The plan is going well with locals performing A Visit from Saint Nicolas and  A Childs Christmas in Wales.  Unfortunately the prize troupe of British actors she’s hired for the grand finale have all fallen ill due to something they ate at a local diner.  Will Greta be able to replace them in time to save the station? Join us for this situational comedy set in a radio studio in a small town in Minnesota that is part radio play and part play. Tickets: $10 Adult, $8 MAC Member, $5 Student (under 12).  Purchase online, by calling 304-258-2300, or at the door.

Adult Art Classes

MACreate – Introduction to Sumi-e Painting
Saturday, December 14th, 2 – 4:30 p.m.
Instructor: Richard Kaufman

Sumi-e is a Japanese term that means painting with ink.  This type of painting, also referred to as East Asian brush painting, originated in China many centuries ago, and spread throughout the region.  It is now practiced in the U.S. and in many other countries. The medium is ink and rice paper.  The brushes are made from bamboo and natural fibers. Those attending the class will learn the basic skills and do paintings of a camellia, a pine branch, and a landscape. All materials will be provided. Tuition: $35 / $30 MAC members. Class size limited.  Register online or by calling 304-258-2300.
