Begin to work on your ability to spout an answer as quickly as possible: When asked, “Four Day Weekend”
Shows are never repeated in the same way. At the Coppell Arts Center (505 Travis Street, Coppell), the illustrious improv comedy ensemble Four Day Weekend is continuing its run, and even if you have been there before, you should think about going again. Starting at 7:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of every month until January 11th, the improv experts will begin accepting audience entries, and they will construct an entirely new show for each and every performance. Allow yourself to laugh until your sides hurt and take a break from the conventional holiday traditions. Tickets are available online and cost $25 each.
A performance by Cher at the Winspear Opera House
Undoubtedly, she is a superstar. This is not the only thing. She is a legendary figure. In the realms of music, fashion, and popular culture in general, Cher has maintained a consistent presence. The fact that she would be the subject of a musical that won a Tony Award® appears to be completely fitting. More than thirty songs and six decades of Cher’s life are covered in The Cher Story, which explores her life and the amazing story she has to tell. Visit the Winspear Opera House (located at 2403 Flora Street) from Thursday through Saturday to see it. Tickets can be purchased through the website.
Friday, December 15th
Beginning at 8:30 p.m. on Friday, December 15, you will have the opportunity to savor the breathtaking skyline of Dallas by utilizing your artistic abilities, which may have recently been discovered, and the Reunion Tower, which is located at 300 Reunion Blvd. E. The guests will learn ways for drawing with a pencil on a canvas that has been prepared with a skyline and is ready to be framed with the assistance of Klarity and Khaos. There is no requirement for prior experience, and acrylic paint markers will be made available to inject a splash of color into the overall experience. Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite, and they do not only cover access to the workshop but also to the GeO-Deck.

December 16th, Saturday
Frisco is hosting free holiday celebrations on both Friday and Saturday, so come celebrate the season!
Home on the Range for the Holidays at Monument Realty PGA District This week, the city of San Francisco is treated to a double treat with a wonderful selection of activities, one of which is the free holiday hijinks that are part of Home on the Range from Monument Realty. Participate in festive mini golf, observe live reindeer, ride the Fields Ranch Holiday Express Train, make and take crafts, and take an abundance of photographs. In spite of the fact that all of this is really wonderful, the fact that it is free and extremely cool means that availability is limited to the time that supplies are available, and priority is given to those who have reserved tickets online. So go ahead and do it. However, because it takes place every Friday and Saturday in December, you shouldn’t worry too much about it!
on the Harwood District, there will be a Harwood Holiday Santa on a bar crawl.
The moment has come to put on your huge red costumes and learn how to properly style your beards! On this coming Saturday, December 16, the Harwood Holiday Santa Bar Crawl will be held for the second time. There will be a check-in between three and four o’clock at Poco Fiasco (2823 McKinnon Street), and there will be seven drink tickets that can be utilized at as many different bars as possible before the event concludes at Happiest Hour (2616 Olive Street). This is the ideal occasion for your designated elf to show off their skills. Tickets may be purchased online for $45, and it is evident that only individuals who are at least 21 years old qualify.
Performing a live performance of The Polar Express at the Meyerson Symphony Center
It is our understanding that the holiday Tom Hanks vehicle from 2004 (ha!) can be a choice that some people find to be divisive (hey-oh!). Nevertheless, there is one thing that can be said with absolute certainty: Alan Silvestri’s score for The Polar Express is simultaneously lush and joyous. Hearing Lawrence Loh conduct the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in conjunction with a screening of the film would undoubtedly be a fairly stunning auditory experience. There is no doubt about it. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you can go to the Meyerson Symphony Center (2301 Flora Street) to take in the music and create your own thoughts on the animation. It is possible to purchase tickets online.
December 17th, Sunday
Putting into question the notion that there is only one masculine genius? I implore you, Dallas Museum of Art, to not continue for any longer. Beginning on Sunday, December 17, 2024, and continuing until July 21, 2024, we are here to witness the new exhibition titled “He Said/She Said: Contemporary Women Artists Interject.” Not only are we thrilled about the concept of artists stealing masculine contributions in order to make a point that is more inclusive, but we are also extremely thrilled by the names that are included in this show. A number of women, like Barbara Kruger (and yes, folks, Supreme got it from her), Olivia Erlanger, Sherrie Levine, Emily Mae Smith, Calida Rawles, and others, have made significant statements and have had a significant presence from the 1970s up until the present day. In the same way that it is inspiring to become familiar with artists that you have never heard of before, we do not want to expose too much information about this show. Please convey the happiness that we feel when we watch it being exhibited in Dallas. You may obtain all of the DMA’s hours and other information online.
A Christmas celebration with John Denver at the Eisemann Center
We need to make this point abundantly obvious to readers who were born and raised in the 1970s and 1980s: There is not a single Muppet in the Rocky Mountain High Experience®, A John Denver Christmas, which is starring Rick Schuler. Although it is a simple assumption to make, fans of Denver will not be let down by the fact that Rick Schuler bears a significant resemblance to the performance style of the folk hero, as well as his appearance. Both at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 16, the performance will be presented at the Eisemann Center, which is located at 2351 Performance Drive in Richardson. An assortment of his most well-known singles, including “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” “Take Me Home Country Roads,” and others, will be performed for the audience, in addition to the Christmas favorites that are featured in Denver’s numerous holiday shows. Purchases can be made online for $44–$50 each ticket.
At the Eisemann, there will be a Christmas performance by John Denver starring Rick Schuler.
In the movie National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the first and most important lesson is to always check the outlet in the garage. Doesn’t help with the insufferable relatives, but on the other hand, you have to go out to the garage to check it, so it could be that it does help. There are some projectiles (and the evidence linked with them) that have the potential to melt. However, that is neither relevant nor incidental. The cherished jelly of the month club honoree is being featured at Alamo Drafthouse (different locations), which is carrying on the grand heritage of providing fantastic holiday screenings and parties to celebrate each and every year. To get the week started off right, you can check it out at the Cedars location on Monday, December 18 at 6:30 p.m. Get seats, but do so quickly. In the event that the “shitter’s full,” you can find additional holiday movie parties by going to the website and searching for them there.
Turtle Creek Chorale is bringing love and the traditions of Celtic culture to the holidays, and you shouldn’t miss it.
Sing for Joy with the Turtle Creek Chorale at the Meyerson Chole Agnew, a founding member of Celtic Woman, will be performing with Skyland and the Turtle Creek Chorale for a rollicking celebration of the Celtic holiday season.
