Wick Theater-White-Christmas-Logo 2pm-Irving Berlin's "White Christmas"- Single tickets: $58-At The Wick-Theatre & Costume Museum- Don't miss this show: songs you'll know and love, great dancing (a few fantastic tap dance numbers), heartwarming story–A Classic, owing to the Golden Age Hollywood musical of the same name, directed by Michael Curtiz in 1954- The plot is enjoyable showbiz fluff about song-and-dance men who fall in love with a talented sister act and band together to save the Vermont inn run by their former commanding general. But the show will probably forever endure thanks to its memorabe Irving Berlin songs, including “Sisters,” “Blue Skies,” “I Love a Piano” and, of course, “White Christmas.”  7901 N.

~Plato, said, "You can discover more about a person in an hour of play, than in a year of conversation."

~Every child should have 2 things: a dog, and a mother who let him have one.
