New Year's Eve Plans

Looking for New Year's Eve Entertainment nearby? Try comedian Jeff Dunham's show at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. The show starts at 7:00 p.m. and will wrap up in plenty of time for you to stop in a nearby restaurant or bar to catch the midnight countdown! If you really want to make a night of it, book a room at Charlotte's new Ritz Carlton (there were still rooms available when I looked online) or one of many other great hotels in the uptown area. Happy 2010!

Sister Christmas Catechism

Catholic school has never been so funny than it is when Sister is the teacher. In this holiday themed show, it's "Forensic Files goes to Bethlehem," in this holiday mystery extravaganza, by the author of LATE NITE CATECHISM and LATE NITE CATECHISM 2, as Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages - Whatever happened to the Magi's gold ("We know that Mary used the frankincense and myrrh as a sort of potpourri - they were in the barn after all.") Assisted by a local choir and a gaggle of audience members, Sister directs an unforgettable living nativity and employs her own CSI-inspired tools to find the culprit. With gifts galore and bundles of laughs, SISTER'S CHRISTMAS CATECHISM is a sinfully funny alternative to traditional holiday fare. Just make sure and show up on time and silence your cell phones or else you may end up on stage in Sister's circle of silence! Various times December 1-20 at Booth Playhouse in Charlotte.
