Win Tickets to An Evening with Mallory Lewis & Lamb Chop!


A Lamb Chop Celebration!

Presented by AT&T Performing Arts

This show starring Shari Lewis’ daughter, Emmy Award-winner Mallory Lewis, and Lamb Chop, her irrepressible puppet sidekick, is a delightful evening of laughter and song for the whole family. The high-energy nostalgic show is filled with contemporary music, topical comedy and hilarious audience participation—plus classic vintage footage of Shari and Lamb Chop.

For Baby Boomers, the evening rekindles cherished memories of a sweeter, simpler time when kids sat in front of the TV enthralled by the songs, stories and adventures of Shari and Lamb Chop. Teens and 20-somethings will remember Lamb Chop from the fun-filled PBS show Lamb Chop’s Play Along. When Mallory and Lamb Chop take the stage, there are fond memories and new adventures for every generation to enjoy!

Mallory Lewis & Lamb Chop Holiday is playing at the Wyly Theatre at the AT & T Performing Arts Center on Saturday, December 15th at 2pm.

‘Ho, Ho…Uh Oh!’ Get Ready to Jingle with Junie B at DCT

Junie B. in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells

 

by Mina Frannea

We caught a recent performance of Junie B. in Jingle Bells, Batman Smells at the Dallas Children’s Theater. It’s a light-hearted show that the whole family can enjoy and will make you laugh out loud!

The Performance

As the performance opens, it’s the last week before winter break and Junie B’s class in Room One is about to participate in a Holiday sing-along. The class has also been chosen to lead the entire auditorium in a chorus of “Jingle Bells.”  Nervous about the upcoming show, Junie B has a flashback to last year’s disastrous performance of a Columbus Day play when her arch rival May tries to take over and chaos ensues. The Columbus Day skit, a show within a show, is FUN and wonderfully portrayed by the cast. I especially liked the creative use of silk-like fabric to represent roiling ocean waves.
