WEEKEND HAPS: Santa, ‘A Christmas Story,’ Toys For Tots, Concerts & More

Scott Schaefer — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:00:17 +0000

Get your gloves and hats out because it’s going to be a chilly but busy weekend in the general B-Town area – below are some haps going on this weekend and beyond.

And oops – we almost forgot to include Burien Little Theatre’s stage reading of ‘A Christmas Story’ on Saturday, Dec. 10th at 2 p.m. Here’s what Director Rochelle Flynn says about it:

Hello Again Friends, Neighbors, Family and anyone else who happens to be on this list

I’m just doing another last minute pitch to urge you all to come and see the wonderful production of “A Christmas Story” that I directed. It’s based on the classic movie about Ralphie who wants nothing more than a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas. We do this in the style of a “radio play” complete with fun and wonderful sound effects. It’s really worth seeing and appropriate for families but witty enough for sophisticated adults. It’s at 2pm at Burien Little Theater and it’s free!

The theater is on 4th Ave SW between SW 144TH and SW 146TH. Call me on my cell after 12 tomorrow if you need more directions.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

- Rochelle
