Then, for the pure joy of it, for the fun and the music and the color and rhythm and glitter and shiny, shiny baubles and beads, we have Burlesque, starring the incredible Cher and the brilliantly talented Christina Aguillera. The music and the dance is superb, early revues are ecstatic and it’s perfect upbeat entertainment for those of us who love showstopper tunes delivered with a bit of a wink and an extra bit of rock and roll. The story is standard. Cher has a burlesque house that is failing and a rich and cold man wants to buy it while she struggles to keep her business afloat. In the meantime…. a lovely young woman (Aguillera) from the Midwest comes to work for Cher as a waitress. But wait! What is that sound you hear? The voice of a lark, you say? And she also has moves? You mean…wait…wait…she can dance and sing??? And she will attract huge crowds and Cher will be saved???? WOW! Is that something perfect for the holidays? So, while your man is out taking aim at Bambi over the holiday, do bring your best gal pals, your fave gay guys, your daughters, mums, and anyone else who loves to laugh and loves good music, and come see what I think is going to set those Thanksgiving weekend toes a tapping. (And don’t forget how good our popcorn is. After all, isn’t that what Thanksgiving is about? Popcorn?)
Then for the kiddies we will have Disney’s Tangled in 3D. This is for all those little Princesses who don’t really need a man to save them, who can save themselves quite well thank you very much, and who might even have to help out that charming Prince now and again. Although it’s about a Princess, little boys will love it, too because there’s a great horse and a funny Prince and it all goes together for some good giggles for the kidlets.
And finally, we will still have Unstoppable which is one of those action movies that literally takes your breath away. In fact, just for safety’s sake, you might want to bring your own oxygen, since this movie sucks it out of the air it’s so tense and moves so fast!
And that’s it. That’s our movie schedule for the holidays coming up. But remember, Harry starts on the 19th, so you don’t even have to wait to see that one!
Oh, and before I go, how do you like the gorgeous landscaping Kevin Kukuchka from Creekside Gardens has done for us (and this is just the beginning!!!)! It’s so beautiful and makes us look so fancy it just stunned me when I saw it. It takes away that harsh factory look the building had and has made it look soft and inviting. Thank you so much, Kevin and Sherry for such a grand gift! You do absolutely beautiful work!
So, happy Thanksgiving to all of you, dear readers. May your family be gathered around you, may memories of your dearies who are no longer with you be tender ones and may those seated around you table be joined by good food, good drink (for thirst is a dangerous thing) and much love.
See you at the Dietrich.

Live at The Dietrich
by
Erica Rogler
Live at the Dietrich November 17, 2010
Only two more days! That’s right! For all of those Harry Potter movie fans, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will open at the Dietrich this Friday. As always, we will hold a special midnight show for all those who want to be among the first to see this film. Advance tickets will be available for this show while supplies last. You can purchase tickets for this show or any of our Harry Potter movie times at the Dietrich’s ticket booth, online at www.dietrichtheater.com <http://www.dietrichtheater.com> or by calling the Dietrich.
For those of you who are more interested in live performances, the Dietrich’s Radio Players will be putting on a show at the theater in just a few short weeks. On Tuesday, December 7th at 7:00 p.m., we will be taking a quick trip back to those grand old days of radio theatre. Under the direction of Valerie Paulus, this group of over 15 actors will perform Jack Benny’s adaptation of “High Noon” which originally aired on September 28, 1952, and Lux Radio Theater’s adaptation of the feel good Christmas story “Miracle on 34th Street”. This year the radio players will be teaming up with a barbershop quartet from the Endless Mountains Chorus to present these favorites which is a first for us. So join us; the evening should be filled with great music, wonderful sound effects, and good old-fashioned radio fun. Admission is free.
In addition to movies and the Radio Players Performance, the Dietrich also has a few great classes coming up. For those of you who have always wanted to paint decorative pieces for your home with or to give as gifts, Wendy Rozelle is teaching Decorative Painting classes on Wednesdays from noon to 3:00 p.m. What is so great about her classes is that no experience is required and by the end of just a couple of classes, you will have a gorgeous painted piece. The painting techniques she uses are very easy to learn and its fun. Wendy showed me some of the projects she plans to teach over the next few weeks and they are fun holiday items that would be perfect for gift giving. Admission is $20 per class plus the cost of the painting surface. Call the Dietrich at 570-996-1500 to learn more information about these classes and to register. Preregistration is required so Wendy will know how many materials to bring.
