Christmas at the Bing, a community celebration

The first five readers who send an email to info@entertainmentspokane.com win a pair of tickets to this fabulous holiday show Saturday night at the Bing!

They've individually appeared on every major stage in Seattle, Portland and Spokane and they will be gathered into one big holiday gift basket at the first annual CHRISTMAS AT THE BING concert this Saturday, December 21 at 7:30 pm at the Bing Crosby Theater.

The concert, produced by Davis Arts and Friends of the Bing, will be hosted by Douglas Webster, fresh from his sold-out triumph with the Spokane production of Les Mis. He will be joined by Krista Curry, Jenny Shotwell, Chelsea LeValley, and locals Krista Kubicek and Max Mendez in a program that will mix traditional favorites such as 'O Holy Night' and 'I'll be Home for Christmas' with more contemporary fare such as 'River' and 'The Man with the Bag'. The evening has been programmed by Jadd Davis of Davis Arts with the same versatile flair that made his Fling at the Bing cabaret such a success last January.

Prices for Christmas at the Bing at 7:30 pm are $27 for adults and $17 for kids 14 and under and also include admission to the afternoon events. For tickets visit www.ticketswest.com or 800-325-SEAT.

Civic and Symphony team up for Les Mis at the Fox




Les Miserables Live at Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox

The Spokane Symphony and Spokane Civic Theatre have announced that they are teaming up to present two performances of Les Miserables at Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox for one weekend only on March 1 and March 2, 2014.

Spokane Civic Theatre presented Les Miserables as its season opener last September. The show's instant popularity with Spokane audiences led to sold-out performances and prompted the Spokane Civic Theatre to add another weekend to satisfy crowds. Before the run ended, Civic's Jim Swoboda, who received raves for his portrayal of Jean Valjean, approached the Symphony to suggest a collaboration to present the show on a grander scale at the much larger Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox with the Symphony's full orchestra. (Civic accommodates 339 people in its hall, while The Fox seats 1600). The Civic's show presented music by fourteen musicians; the Symphony will add the power of its full orchestra with conductor Morihiko Nakahara to accompany Civic's singers and actors.

Tickets are on sale through the Symphony box office, 509-624-1200, Civic's box office, 509-325-2507, or through Ticketswest at www.ticketswest.com or 800-325-SEAT. Prices range from $40 to $125. The run will feature one Saturday evening performance and one Sunday matinee. For more information, visit spokanysymphony.org or spokanecivictheatre.org.

The Story of 'The Greatest Gift'




Three years ago December of 2010, Don Garves' wife Linda had asked him to wrap one of their framed art pieces as a gift that would be hung on the wall as a decoration for Christmas. He used his Confirmation picture of Christ that was given to him many years prior and started to wrap the picture. Once totally covered he decided he could not cover Christ in wrapping paper, so he started to unwrap the picture. As he did, the picture of Christ was revealed, so they kept the picture partially unwrapped, put a ribbon on it with the tag line of 'The Greatest Gift'. It decorated the wall for two years.

In December 2012 Garves contacted two friends who are business partners in Spokane and told them of 'The Greatest Gift' idea and that he and Linda wanted to share with others. They loved the idea and were super positive about how it would be received. Garves worked with a local artist to create the unique image of Christ and with a special friend created the Unique Christian wrapping paper.

The unique gift is available in several different product variations, framed prints in various sizes, greeting cards, bookmarks, coffee mugs, afghans, key chains, muse pads, pedants. For more information and to order go to www.christthegreatestgift.com.
