Last Call

Back away from your couchCold weather and electric

blankets are social life kill-ers.

I’ve been declining events left and right, and the only honest excuse I have is that I don’t want to leave my warm spot on the couch and “Project Runway” mar-athon on Hulu. It’s pathetic, really.

So I needed to remind myself of all the fun activi-ties that winter has to of-fer. Here’s my list of things worth leaving my sofa for:

• I went to Color Me Mine a few weeks ago. The boy-friend and I made a Christ-mas ornament together and I made a candy dish for Grams. Sadly, the pottery looks like a toddler painted it.

Painting is harder than it looks, folks. I just heard you can bring in an old wine bottle and they’ll melt it down into a usable cheese board.

Now that’s awesome and won’t look quite as tod-dler-like. Friend them on Facebook (search: Color Me Mine — Harrisburg). They don’t post often, but when they do there are some good deals.

• I’m getting a foam finger

and heading to a Hershey Bears game ASAP. I don’t fully understand the rules of hockey, but you really can’t go wrong with nachos and over-priced beer.

There’s a ton of home games on the weekends in January. Check out www.

hersheybears.com for de-tails.

• There’s nothing quite as fun as a good ol’ fashioned game of Laser Tag. It’s about as silly as it gets, but I really can’t pass up being able to run around like I’m 12 shooting lasers at my friends.

Boo-yah, suckers. Check out The Sports Emporium in Carlisle, which offers a 40-minute session for $14 per player.

• It’s easy to overlook where beer comes from when it is sitting pretty in your fridge, all neatly bottled waiting for you to drink.

But we have a few brew-eries right in our own back-yard. You can take a tour of Troeg’s Brewery every Saturday at 1:30, 2 and 2:30 p.m.

You’ll ooh and ahh at the filtration process, fermen-tation and bottling stages, particularly if you partake in the sampling session be-fore the tour starts. It’s to-tally free, but reservations are recommended. Check out troegs.com for details.

———As a friendly reminder,

please drink responsibly.

it hadn’t done in previous years.

“It’s the first year we’ve done this,” he said. “We never had a liquor license before now. We only opened our pub a week before Christmas, and we didn’t think we were really ready for it last year. With our facility open now, we wanted to see what we could provide.”

What they’re able to provide is a place for 200 area residents to celebrate the holiday. This year, Ski Roundtop is limiting the number of participants to 200, with about 100 of those tickets already sold.

“With the dance floor and the band, we thought 200 was a good number. We really want to make the party comfortable,” said Dudding.

A place in the lodge isn’t the only way people can spend the holiday on the slopes. Ski Roundtop will stay open more than an hour later than usual dur-ing the winter season. The trails will stay open until 11:30 p.m., when the lift will stop to prepare for the fireworks display. Two trails — Lafeyette’s Leap and Barrett’s Trail — will be closed early in order to set up the display.

“If people want to get some skiing and board-ing in before the New Year, the trails will stay open to the public,” Dudding said. “We’ll also have an out-door barbecue pit.”

In addition to the barbe-cue pit, which is open to anyone willing to brave the cold, Ski Roundtop will also keep the Fireside Pub and Grill open until mid-night with food, drink and the New Year’s Eve festivi-ties on the big screens.

Those going to Ski Roundtop for the holiday for a bit of skiing and a seat in the Fireside can pay reg-ular holiday admission for the night — $39 for adults.

New Year’s Eve Party tickets can be purchased online on the Ski Round-top website. The $50 per person admission includes music, hors d’eouvres (seafood, a carving sta-tion, gourmet pizzas and desserts) and two drink vouchers at the cash bar. There is a $40 per person fee for those under 21.

Both Hampton Inn Har-risburg West and Home-wood Suites are offering special prices for New Year’s Eve partygoers, which includes trans-portation to and from the party, breakfast and a late check-out.

Ski• Continued from D4

Well, for me, last weekend was just magical.

My Saturday night in-cluded a trip to the Hershey Theatre, where I watched the Central Pennsylva-nia Youth Ballet perform George Balanchine’s “The Nutcracker.”

I was immediately trans-ported into a fanciful world where everyone from pep-permints to sugar plum fairies to nutcrackers and rat kings was a beautiful dancer.

Not only was the bal-let performed in one of the most architecturally beau-tiful theatres in our area and with elaborate spe-cial effects — think a scrim to show two rooms of the house at once, a Christmas tree that grows before your eyes and a giant nutcracker that suddenly turns into a human prince — it was per-formed to the live music of the Harrisburg Symphony

Orchestra.Unfortunately, if you

missed this production of “The Nutcracker,” you’re out of luck until next year (last weekend marked the final performance).

But, if you need some-thing to hold you over un-til then, there are plenty of performances by both the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet and the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra to keep you busy throughout the year.

In April, the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet will perform “Swan Lake;” its annual “June Series” will be performed at the end of June.

The Harrisburg Sym-phony Orchestra also has several shows, including a “Simply Swingin’” trib-ute to the big band era and “La Boheme in concert,” a look at the original songs and stories that inspired

the musical “Rent,” sched-uled for the next couple of months.

For more information on either organizations’ events, visit their websites at www.cpyb.org and www.harris-burgsymphony.org.

Mini Reviews

“True Grit” (Western, PG-13, 110 minutes). An entertaining remake of the 1969 film, and more, by Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn easily fills John Wayne’s boots, and Hailee Steinfeld is very special as young Mattie Ross, who hires the old marshal to help her hunt down the varmint that killed her old man. HHH 1/2“Gulliver’s Travels” (Fantasy adven-ture, PG, 85 minutes). Not your average Jack Black movie. More of an innocent family adventure, filmed in a traditional style. Black, as a lowly mail clerk for a newspaper, finds himself in the land of Lilliput -- where he is first a captive, then a friendly giant, and finally a hero. With Emily Blunt as a princess, King Billy Con-nolly and Gen. Chris O’Dowd both rivals for her affection, and Amanda Peet as Black’s editor. Innocent fun. HHH

Millersville offeringsViewers have just missed

Millersville University’s Communication and The-atre Department produc-tion of “Earth and Sky,” a “poetic thriller” concern-ing a young woman seek-ing the killer of her boy-friend.

The next production is “Heathen Valley,” by Ro-mulus Linney. Set in the 1860s in a remote valley of North Carolina’s moun-tains, the play centers on the desire of the Episcopal Bishop to bring the word of God to a community so removed and untamed that incest, brutal violence and grinding poverty rule.

The play, called “a minor masterpiece” by The Phil-adelphia Daily News and “compelling drama” by the Philadelphia Journal, is directed by Tony Elliot, associate professor in the department.

“Heathen Valley” is to be staged at 8 p.m. March 18, 19, 24 and 25 and 2 p.m. March 20 and 27 at the Rafters Theatre, Dutch-ers Hall. Tickets are $10, general admission. For in-formation, call 872-3811 or visit www.MUTicketsOn-line.com.

Several optionsShippensburg Universi-

ty’s Department of Music and Theatre Arts offers the campus community sever-al types of theater options, according to Paris Peet, Full Professor of Theatre at the university.

“Every semester Dr. Paul and Gretchen Leitner pro-duce the Little Princess Playhouse, a children’s theater company mount-ing productions,” says Peet. “These take place at Stewart Hall on campus.”

Plays produced through the university’s Theater Practicum class are done every four semesters as a “capstone experience within the theater cur-riculum,” he adds. “Last fall I directed ‘Expecting Isabel,’ by contemporary playwright Lisa Loomer.”

The production is par-ticipating in the KC/American College the-ater Festival, and box of-fice proceeds have helped our students attend the regional festival next month.”

In addition, Shippens-burg sponsors Act V Pro-ductions, a student-the-ater organization funded by the Student Associa-tion. Entirely student-run, Act V puts on several pro-ductions over the course of the academic year, includ-ing a spring musical.

This last semester, Act V produced “The Adding Ma-chine” by Elmer Rice and “Rumors by Neil Simon.

Nightlife

End the year on a high note

By LISA CLARkESENTiNEL [email protected]

According to timeless holiday songs, the week between Christmas and New Year’s is filled with the joy of home, hearth and faithful friends.

But with all that holiday cheer cooped up in close quarters, sometimes a night on the town is just the thing to keep spirits bright at year’s end.

And though the event calendar is winding down this week as Dec. 31 ap-proaches, there are still some worthwhile enter-tainment options for last-minute revelers.

Tonight, the Harris-burg Midtown Arts Center presents the Wizards of Winter, a Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band comprised of musicians from the Metro New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania regions.

They have a strong clas-sical and progressive rock influence and experience in their individual music careers, and combined of-fer a faithful reproduction of the popular holiday mu-sic in an intimate setting.

T h e s h ow w i l l ta ke place at 7 p.m. tonight at HMAC’s Stage on Herr, lo-cated on Herr Street be-tween Second and Third streets in Midtown Har-risburg. Tickets are $15. For more information, visit www.harrisburgarts.com.

Naughty or nice?Santa’s list has already

been checked, and checked

twice, so it’s time to find out where you stand with Mode Magazine’s Naughty and Nice Party at Stock’s on Second. Originally an office Christmas party, the event has grown in popu-larity over the years and was expanded to include the public.

MODE publisher Scot Giambalvo will return as DJ Scottie, spinning holi-day music along with guest DJ Jason Forest.

There will also be food and drink specials, as well as complimentary items and MODE’s own holiday CDs on hand tonight start-ing at 8. For more infor-mation, visit them online at www.facebook.com/MODEmagazine.

Music and dancingOn Christmas Eve, it’s

your last chance to dance the night away — or at least the evening — at Wormleysburg ’s new-est nightlife addition, the

Drinkin Bone. Central Pennsylvania’s latest ad-dition to the country mu-sic nightlife scene will host an early-bird dance party from 3-6 p.m. for those in need of a little pre-holiday groove time.

On Tuesday, Dec. 28, the Drinkin Bone will host the band Pisser, an act that features veteran musicians from other well-known bands, including Frank Ferrer, former drummer for Guns N’ Roses; Todd Youth, guitarist from Dan-zig; Anthony Esposito, original Lynch Mob Bassist and bassist for Ace Freh-ley; and singer Eric J. Toast from Honky Toast.

On Thursday, Dec. 30, adventurous souls will have the opportunity to ride the Bone’s own me-chanical bull with no-cov-er and no-charge-to-ride admission night.

The Drinkin’ Bone is located at 860 N. Front Street in Lemoyne. For

more information, visit www.drinkinbone.com.

On Wednesday, Dec. 29, it’s back to ABC for mu-sic lovers when one of the area’s most popular bands returns to the stage.

Hoots and Hellmouth are slated to perform at 9 p.m. with opening act The Great Northeast. Drop in for a little post-holiday excitement on Cameron Street.

Tickets for the show are $10 in advance and avail-able at www.greenbelte-vents.com.

Area residents may see a new set of fireworks in the direction of Lewisberry this year, and about 200 will get to see them up close.

Ski Roundtop will hold its first ever New Year’s Eve party on its slopes, com-plete with music, dancing and fireworks. Though Ski Roundtop has had fireworks before, Marketing Director Chris Dudding said that the last set was so long ago that this may be a new experi-ence for many area resi-

dents.“We haven’t had fire-

works for many, many years here,” he said. “I think this

will be the first time for many people to see it from the mountain. I think it will be really cool. Because it’s on a mountain, all of Cum-berland County and York County will see the fire-works. I’ll also be able to take some pretty cool pic-tures. I’m looking forward to it.”

The fireworks won’t be the only feature of the par-ty, which will run from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Attendees can welcome the New Year in style at the main lodge with dancing and music from Ski Round-top regular and local band Jazz Me. Dudding noted that the business wanted to do something special for the New Year — something

“Wig and Buckle” may sound like a throwback to centuries ago, but it’s ac-tually the name of a con-temporary theater company — admittedly one celebrat-ing its 75th anniversary and the oldest student-run or-ganization on campus — at Lebanon Valley College in Annville.

Wig and Buckle is “entire-ly student run from every aspect — directing to light-ing, to creating the set, act-ing, and everything in be-tween,” says Melissa Zellner, group secretary. The faculty advisor is Kevin Pry.

Each year, the company puts on two to three plays and one musical — which this year included “And Then There Were None,” by Agatha Christie, in October and November, and a short-run production of “An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein” in early December.

On Wig and Buckle’s agenda for winter/spring are Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes,” Feb. 18-27; a Caba-ret Night with alumni on March 26; and finally, the comedy “You Can’t Take It With You,” by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, April 8-17.

“Our goal has always been to provide quality productions for both the LVC student body and the surrounding area,” says Zellner. “The theater has worked in conjunction with the English department and been the backbone of a the-ater concentration major/mi-nor for many students over the years.”

something uniqueHarrisburg Area Commu-

nity College’s theater de-partment, headed by Mar-nie Brennan, offers a broad range of courses that can be transferred to either profes-sional theater art schools or four-year colleges.

All students in the pro-gram are required to audi-tion for both HACC The-atreworks, a student theater group, as well as for Theatre for Young People, a program that offers summer camps and Saturday sessions in the spring and fall for students younger than college age.

TYP was launched in 1994 — followed a year later by the Touring Company, which offers cost-free per-formances to area school districts with limited re-sources.

Both HACC Theatreworks and Theatre for Young People offer performances

— with the former having one production each during the fall and spring semes-ters, and the latter during one week in April for local schools, followed by a pub-lic performance on Satur-day.

“I wanted to provide the theater students with the opportunity to put into practice on stage what they were learning in classroom theory,” says Brennan. “This is a wonderful hands-on experience for the theater students, and they get a real taste of what being associ-ated with a production is all about.”

This year the two groups will join for a public per-formance of “Wiley and the Hairy Man” at 2 p.m. April 30 in the Rose Lehrman Arts Center of HACC.

HACC Theatreworks has presented the comic (“I Hate Hamlet” by Paul Rud-nick, this past October), the tragic (“Agnes of God by John Pielmeier last year) and the in-between. The spring production is “Art,” by Yazmin Reza, a comedy about three friends whose relationship is put to the test by a completely white painting, says Brennan.

“Art” will be presented to the general public at 8 p.m. March 4-5 and 2 p.m. March 6 in the Studio Theatre of

“Wig and Buckle” may sound like a throwback to centuries ago, but it’s ac-tually the name of a con-temporary theater company — admittedly one celebrat-ing its 75th anniversary and the oldest student-run or-ganization on campus — at Lebanon Valley College in Annville.

Wig and Buckle is “entire-ly student run from every aspect — directing to light-ing, to creating the set, act-ing, and everything in be-tween,” says Melissa Zellner, group secretary. The faculty advisor is Kevin Pry.

Each year, the company puts on two to three plays and one musical — which this year included “And Then There Were None,” by Agatha Christie, in October and November, and a short-run production of “An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein” in early December.

On Wig and Buckle’s agenda for winter/spring are Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes,” Feb. 18-27; a Caba-ret Night with alumni on March 26; and finally, the comedy “You Can’t Take It With You,” by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, April 8-17.

“Our goal has always been to provide quality productions for both the LVC student body and the surrounding area,” says Zellner. “The theater has worked in conjunction with the English department and been the backbone of a the-ater concentration major/mi-nor for many students over the years.”

something uniqueHarrisburg Area Commu-

nity College’s theater de-partment, headed by Mar-nie Brennan, offers a broad range of courses that can be transferred to either profes-sional theater art schools or four-year colleges.

All students in the pro-gram are required to audi-tion for both HACC The-atreworks, a student theater group, as well as for Theatre for Young People, a program that offers summer camps and Saturday sessions in the spring and fall for students younger than college age.

TYP was launched in 1994 — followed a year later by the Touring Company, which offers cost-free per-formances to area school districts with limited re-sources.

Both HACC Theatreworks and Theatre for Young People offer performances

— with the former having one production each during the fall and spring semes-ters, and the latter during one week in April for local schools, followed by a pub-lic performance on Satur-day.

“I wanted to provide the theater students with the opportunity to put into practice on stage what they were learning in classroom theory,” says Brennan. “This is a wonderful hands-on experience for the theater students, and they get a real taste of what being associ-ated with a production is all about.”

This year the two groups will join for a public per-formance of “Wiley and the Hairy Man” at 2 p.m. April 30 in the Rose Lehrman Arts Center of HACC.

HACC Theatreworks has presented the comic (“I Hate Hamlet” by Paul Rud-nick, this past October), the tragic (“Agnes of God by John Pielmeier last year) and the in-between. The spring production is “Art,” by Yazmin Reza, a comedy about three friends whose relationship is put to the test by a completely white painting, says Brennan.

“Art” will be presented to the general public at 8 p.m. March 4-5 and 2 p.m. March 6 in the Studio Theatre of

Millersville offeringsViewers have just missed

Millersville University’s Communication and The-atre Department produc-tion of “Earth and Sky,” a “poetic thriller” concern-ing a young woman seek-ing the killer of her boy-friend.

The next production is “Heathen Valley,” by Ro-mulus Linney. Set in the 1860s in a remote valley of North Carolina’s moun-tains, the play centers on the desire of the Episcopal Bishop to bring the word of God to a community so removed and untamed that incest, brutal violence and grinding poverty rule.

The play, called “a minor masterpiece” by The Phil-adelphia Daily News and “compelling drama” by the Philadelphia Journal, is directed by Tony Elliot, associate professor in the department.

“Heathen Valley” is to be staged at 8 p.m. March 18, 19, 24 and 25 and 2 p.m. March 20 and 27 at the Rafters Theatre, Dutch-ers Hall. Tickets are $10, general admission. For in-formation, call 872-3811 or visit www.MUTicketsOn-line.com.

Several optionsShippensburg Universi-

ty’s Department of Music and Theatre Arts offers the campus community sever-al types of theater options, according to Paris Peet, Full Professor of Theatre at the university.

“Every semester Dr. Paul and Gretchen Leitner pro-duce the Little Princess Playhouse, a children’s theater company mount-ing productions,” says Peet. “These take place at Stewart Hall on campus.”

Plays produced through the university’s Theater Practicum class are done every four semesters as a “capstone experience within the theater cur-riculum,” he adds. “Last fall I directed ‘Expecting Isabel,’ by contemporary playwright Lisa Loomer.”

The production is par-ticipating in the KC/American College the-ater Festival, and box of-fice proceeds have helped our students attend the regional festival next month.”

In addition, Shippens-burg sponsors Act V Pro-ductions, a student-the-ater organization funded by the Student Associa-tion. Entirely student-run, Act V puts on several pro-ductions over the course of the academic year, includ-ing a spring musical.

This last semester, Act V produced “The Adding Ma-chine” by Elmer Rice and “Rumors by Neil Simon.

Nightlife

End the year on a high note

By LISA CLARkESENTiNEL [email protected]

According to timeless holiday songs, the week between Christmas and New Year’s is filled with the joy of home, hearth and faithful friends.

But with all that holiday cheer cooped up in close quarters, sometimes a night on the town is just the thing to keep spirits bright at year’s end.

And though the event calendar is winding down this week as Dec. 31 ap-proaches, there are still some worthwhile enter-tainment options for last-minute revelers.

Tonight, the Harris-burg Midtown Arts Center presents the Wizards of Winter, a Trans-Siberian Orchestra tribute band comprised of musicians from the Metro New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania regions.

They have a strong clas-sical and progressive rock influence and experience in their individual music careers, and combined of-fer a faithful reproduction of the popular holiday mu-sic in an intimate setting.

T h e s h ow w i l l ta ke place at 7 p.m. tonight at HMAC’s Stage on Herr, lo-cated on Herr Street be-tween Second and Third streets in Midtown Har-risburg. Tickets are $15. For more information, visit www.harrisburgarts.com.

Naughty or nice?Santa’s list has already

been checked, and checked

twice, so it’s time to find out where you stand with Mode Magazine’s Naughty and Nice Party at Stock’s on Second. Originally an office Christmas party, the event has grown in popu-larity over the years and was expanded to include the public.

MODE publisher Scot Giambalvo will return as DJ Scottie, spinning holi-day music along with guest DJ Jason Forest.

There will also be food and drink specials, as well as complimentary items and MODE’s own holiday CDs on hand tonight start-ing at 8. For more infor-mation, visit them online at www.facebook.com/MODEmagazine.

Music and dancingOn Christmas Eve, it’s

your last chance to dance the night away — or at least the evening — at Wormleysburg ’s new-est nightlife addition, the

Drinkin Bone. Central Pennsylvania’s latest ad-dition to the country mu-sic nightlife scene will host an early-bird dance party from 3-6 p.m. for those in need of a little pre-holiday groove time.

On Tuesday, Dec. 28, the Drinkin Bone will host the band Pisser, an act that features veteran musicians from other well-known bands, including Frank Ferrer, former drummer for Guns N’ Roses; Todd Youth, guitarist from Dan-zig; Anthony Esposito, original Lynch Mob Bassist and bassist for Ace Freh-ley; and singer Eric J. Toast from Honky Toast.

On Thursday, Dec. 30, adventurous souls will have the opportunity to ride the Bone’s own me-chanical bull with no-cov-er and no-charge-to-ride admission night.

The Drinkin’ Bone is located at 860 N. Front Street in Lemoyne. For

more information, visit www.drinkinbone.com.

On Wednesday, Dec. 29, it’s back to ABC for mu-sic lovers when one of the area’s most popular bands returns to the stage.

Hoots and Hellmouth are slated to perform at 9 p.m. with opening act The Great Northeast. Drop in for a little post-holiday excitement on Cameron Street.

Tickets for the show are $10 in advance and avail-able at www.greenbelte-vents.com.

Mini Reviews

“True Grit” (Western, PG-13, 110 minutes). An entertaining remake of the 1969 film, and more, by Joel and Ethan Coen. Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn easily fills John Wayne’s boots, and Hailee Steinfeld is very special as young Mattie Ross, who hires the old marshal to help her hunt down the varmint that killed her old man. HHH 1/2“Gulliver’s Travels” (Fantasy adven-ture, PG, 85 minutes). Not your average Jack Black movie. More of an innocent family adventure, filmed in a traditional style. Black, as a lowly mail clerk for a newspaper, finds himself in the land of Lilliput -- where he is first a captive, then a friendly giant, and finally a hero. With Emily Blunt as a princess, King Billy Con-nolly and Gen. Chris O’Dowd both rivals for her affection, and Amanda Peet as Black’s editor. Innocent fun. HHH
