Studio Theatre Productions presents: THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF BERNICE TRIMBLE by Beth Graham, directed by Jane Stott. “Gravity is a good hugger – it keeps you grounded.” Iris Trimble may very well fly off the face of the earth if she doesn’t hang on to the kitchen counter. At least that’s how she feels after her mother, Bernice, a lively, recently widowed fifty-nine year old breaks the news that she has Alzheimer’s.

Iris and her siblings each have their own ways of dealing with the news, while Bernice, as vivacious as ever, is ready to finally put herself first. Exceptionally well written, this play is intense, poignant and wonderfully nuanced.

Playing January 17th to 27th with evening and matinee shows. Tickets are $24 at Tickets Please (11 Gore St. East, Perth). Also available at the door on show nights. Save $5 opening night; $10 rush seats for students with ID. Produced by special arrangement with Playwrights Guild of Canada.

Many people in Canada and the United States celebrate Christmas Day on December 25. The day celebrates Jesus Christ’s birth.

People celebrate Christmas Day in many ways. It is often combined with customs from pre-Christian winter celebrations. Many people decorate their homes, visit family or friends and exchange gifts. In the days or even weeks before Christmas Day, many people decorate their homes and gardens with lights, Christmas trees and much more.

It is common to organize a special meal, often consisting of turkey and a lot of other festive foods, for family or friends and exchange gifts with them. Children, in particular, often receive a lot of gifts from their parents and other relatives and the mythical figure Santa Claus.

The original meaning of Christmas is a special church service, or mass, to celebrate the birth of Christ. The story of the Nativity, or the events surrounding the birth of Jesus, are particularly important in religious celebrations of Christmas. However, many traditions that are around today have their roots in pre-Christian winter festivals. These include the importance of candles and decorations made from evergreen bushes and tree, symbolizing everlasting light and life.

 Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, completing an Advent calendar or Advent wreath, Christmas music and caroling, lighting a Christingle, viewing a Nativity play, an exchange of Christmas cards, church services, a special meal, pulling Christmas crackers and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Christkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore.

The Mikado, brought to you by the Mississippi Mudds

On behalf of the Mississippi Mudds theatre group of Carleton Place, I would like to extend an invitation to you to join us for The Mikado, yet another enchanting Gilbert and Sullivan musical masterpiece. Whether or not you may know the show, you are in for a treat for the eyes, the ears, and the sense of humour.

The Mikado is a funny story of royalty in disguise, of lovers that cannot be together, of tricks, lies, and threats of public execution! Of course, it is a Gilbert and Sullivan musical, so above all, The Mikado is a story about everything working out in the end.

Gilbert and Sullivan wrote and performed this musical in 1885. The duo wrote satirical musicals that reflect the then-modern society back onto itself, and The Mikado is no different. Although set in Japan in a fictional town, the musical was written and performed at a time when England was obsessed with The Orient and its mystical culture, beautiful clothing, and elegant customs. All sorts of goods, fashions, ideas, and stories were being imported from Japan and England had a sort of love affair with the craze.

Gilbert and Sullivan used this show to mock high society and their insatiable appetites for what is trendy and new, and their ignorance of the true meaning of what they appropriate from other cultures. This show does not make fun of Japanese culture, but rather makes fun of the perception of the Japanese culture at the time.

So please join us at Carleton Place Town Hall on Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2, or Dec. 7 to 9 for The Mikado.

Date: Sun, December 2, 2pm – 4pm
Event location: Carleton Place Town Hall, 175 Bridge St, Carleton Place, ON K7C 2V8, Canada
