At one of Mr. and Mrs. C’s famous parties last weekend, I tried Pinnacle Whipped Cream Flavor Vodka. It’s really weird, I’m not going to lie. But we mixed it with cranberry fizzy soda and it took the sweet edge off. Bring it to your next holiday party simply for the novelty fac-tor.

After an evening of sweet cocktails, I needed to (wo)man up and put on a happy face to meet the boyfriend’s sister. I am not an antique shopping kind of girl. When the boyfriend’s mom asked me to go with them, I was looking forward to it like I looked forward to my root canal last year.

But it’s Christmastime, so I laced up my tennis shoes and gave myself a pep talk. I was ready for a day of girly

shopping and it was going to be fun.

Within the first 10 min-utes of being in the store, they told me they found the perfect thing. As I turned my head, I saw the magical twinkle of sterling silver. It was a Tiffany & Co. bracelet staring back at me.

My mouth dropped. Every girl — even this girl — loves Tiffany & Co. jewelry. Boys who are still looking for a gift for your wife/girlfriend, you simply can’t go wrong with it. It’s timeless jewelry that’s pricey but not to-

tally out of the budget. My bracelet was only $22. Mer-ry Christmas to me.

The thrill of the bracelet find carried me through the next four hours of shopping, and I still can’t stop staring at it on my wrist. The ques-tion around the office is, “Is it really real?”

Listen, people, to me, it’s real — it’s heavy, it looks authentic, and any-one who says otherwise gets a stern look until they promptly shut up. So, my dear friends, go antiquing this Christmas season. You never know what you’re go-ing to find.

If you’re also into the fin-er things in life, check out Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet’s performance of “George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker” this weekend. It’s at the Hershey Theatre

Saturday and Sunday, and the music will be provided by the Harrisburg Sympho-ny Orchestra. I don’t know about you, but I get tired just watching these dancers. They just move their feet so ding dang fast! Either way, the performance is sure to get you into the Christmas spirit.

And speaking of Christ-mas spirit, next week I’ll be doing my good deed of the holiday season by wrap-ping gifts at the Capital City Mall. For a donation to United Cerebral Palsy, you can make fun of my hei-nous wrapping skills, and, if you’re nice, I’ll even give you a bow. We’ll be across from Old Navy from 7-10 p.m. on Dec. 20.

———As a friendly reminder,

please drink responsibly.

Getting into the Christmas spirit

5... 4... 3... 2... 1...Happy New Year’s!Well, not quite, but it is

time to start planning for your New Year’s celebration.

I’ve never been a big fan of New Year’s Eve; it always carried so much pressure to have fun.

I guess part of the prob-lem is not that New Year’s Eve is not fun (although, I think it is one of the most bittersweet holidays), it’s that I was never sure what to do to make it fun!

So, for those of you who are like me, here is a list of some fun ways to ring in 2011:

• Host, or go to, a party. Some of my favorite New Year’s Eves were spent with small groups of friends, chatting and watching the great “Year in Review” specials that are on every

station.• If you like roses,

wrenches, goats or straw-berries, then you live in the right area. These items are dropped at midnight in several local and neigh-boring towns. Check out a full roundup of all the area New Year’s Eve cel-ebrations in the Dec. 30 is-sue of Alive. Who needs a crowded Times Square and Waterford Crystal ball?

• You could always do dinner, drinks and dancing with that special someone. This year, I’m taking my sister!

Make sure you make your reservations now, though. The Green Room right here in Carlisle is offering a three-course Prix Fixe Menu for $60 per person (including tax and gratu-ity).

Out with Erica Reporter Erica Dolson shares tips for 20-something entertainment that doesn’t involve Second Street.

art scene. Brantner also happened to get his start in a different medium.

“I started out painting in college,” he explained. “When I left college, I worked in Washington, D.C., at the Phillips Collec-tion. After a year with that, I didn’t really know what I wanted to do. There’s no telling why but I just started getting interested in pot-tery. I took books out of the library and read a lot about pottery.”

Brantner wanted to get some experience with the art form, and when he was looking at moving to North Carolina, a friend pointed him in the direction of Sea-grove and into the shop of Dirtworks Pottery, where he became an apprentice for a year.

“(Seagrove is) an art-

ist community,” he said. “There are about 125 potters in 50 square miles. I stayed in town and worked in sev-eral different stores over the next two years.”

What he was able to get out of Seagrove was a full list of connections and art-ists who were very willing to collaborate.

“I really enjoy collaborat-ing with other potters. The art really lends itself to it. It’s very rare to hear about a potter who works by him-self,” he said.

Brantner has since learned to develop his own voice and emphasize his work on form and lines. His work can be seen at a number of galleries, including The Village Arti-sans Gallery and the Carlisle Arts Learning Center.

Area residents can get a first-hand look at Brant-ner’s pottery during his open house this weekend.

With Christmas just around the corner, the to-do list certainly doesn’t lack entries. But before the pressure of the holidays gets you Grinched, give yourself a good time on the town with one of many en-tertainment options this week.

Tonight, Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center’s Stage on Herr is the place to be for music, when they host a not-to-be-missed night of local music fea-turing three acoustic rock bands. Carlisle-based singer songwriter Cam-ela Widad Kraemer leads the lineup, which also in-cludes Kevin Neidig and Suzi Brown. Brown will be joined on stage by Sarah Deardorff of the band In-dian Summer Jars, as well as Joseph Cheng.

The musicians were re-cently featured on 97.3 The River radio show with Mi-chael Anthony Smith for a live on-air performance in advance of the show.

They will appear at Stage on Herr, 268 Herr St., Har-risburg, tonight, starting at 8 p.m. Admission is free.

Midtown music and artThe weekend brings more

eclectic entertainment fare, with Friday night offering events from Harrisburg’s own film co-op, Moviate, and Midtown gallery the Mantis Collective.

Filmmaker John Wa-ters’ Dreamland ensemble Superstar Mink Stole and Her Wonderful Band will appear for a highly an-ticipated show at Stage on

Herr on Friday. Mink Stole is best known for her work with friend John Waters, and is one of only two per-formers to appear in all of his films.

She will appear with Her Wonderful Band members for this special Christmas show, including John Irvine on trumpet.

Around the corner at the Mantis/Moviate headquar-ters, another Dreamland performer will present her drawings and paintings in the gallery, located at 1306 N. Third St. Susan Lowe, an actress and artist, first appeared in Waters’ film “Mondo Trasho” while still an art student.

She later played the lead role in “Desperate Living” after appearing in several other films, and is current-ly a professor at the Uni-versity of Maryland and at Maryland Institute College of Art. The exhibit will be on view until mid-January, and the opening reception will take place from 8-10 p.m. Friday.

Festive filmsFilm lovers won’t have to

wish for snow this week-end if they make their way to the Midtown Cinema. The area’s beloved inde-pendent theater is offering a rare chance to see holiday staple “White Christmas” on the big screen.

The film, originally re-leased in 1954, stars Bing

Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rose-mary Clooney and Vera-Ellen and features music from Irving Berlin.

It will be shown for two days only at 7:30 p.m. Sat-urday and 2:45 and 5:10 p.m. Sunday. For more in-formation, visit www.mid-towncinema.com.

And if you still find your-self short on seasonal spirit next week, clear your cal-endar Wednesday night for a last-minute shot of Christmas cheer.

Now in it’s eighth year, Moviate’s annual “Holly Jolly Film Shorts” screen-ing offers a selection of vintage 16mm holiday films not available on vid-eo, including Max Fleish-

er’s animated short from 1936, “Christmas Comes But Once a Year.”

The program this week is the second and final of the two-part series slated for the 2010 season.

So whether you missed last weekend’s screening or you just can’t get enough holiday fun, be sure to make it to Mantis/Moviate early to catch this heart-warming good time before it’s gone.

Cookies and hot cider will be served, and the screening is appropriate for all ages. Admission is by $5 donation.

For more information, visit www.themantiscol-lective.com.

Boiling Springs

Boiling Springs potter keeps work local

By Naomi CreasoNSentinel [email protected]

Kurt Brantner isn’t all that in-terested in decorating.

The Boiling Springs artist likes the look of antiquity — solid, if worn, pieces with strong lines. It certainly helps that with his work as a potter, much of those features stand out simply by following the regular process for creating a piece.

“I’m not a decorator — I’m ba-sically a very traditional potter,” Brantner said. “I like to really let the kiln decorate and glaze the pots. There’s a certain atmo-sphere to them. The (firewood) kiln imparts texture and color to

different surfaces of the pot. It’s in the kiln for about five days. The longer it’s in the kiln, the nicer and nicer it gets. It’s really labor intensive.”

The resulting products make up a collection of stoneware and por-celain items Brantner sells out of his workshop and apartment in Boiling Springs. Brantner sells his pottery mostly by appointment, but this weekend, he’ll have an open house and will sell his stock

of pots that he’s built up over the last few months.

Many of those pots are com-pletely local — not just because they are made by a Boiling Springs native, but also because almost all of the materials used to make the pottery are from around the area.

Brantner digs his own clay, mixing and stretching it until it’s usable on the pottery wheel. The artist also finishes it off by using local firewood for his kiln.

“I keep it very local,” he said. “I really enjoy that. There’s some-thing about using local materi-als and turning out a product. I make pots based on what I have, not search for material to buy for a pot.”

idea of where he wants to go as a potter, he’s relatively new to the

Love of area theater not just academic

By BarBara TraiNiN BlaNkSentinel [email protected]

College students may be on break already, but it won’t be long before they’re back on campus — and act-ing up a storm.

Several area colleges and universities have active the-ater departments, which not only teach students the theory of acting, directing and the technical aspects of stage, but put on diverse and sophisticated produc-tions — ranging from mu-sicals to comedies to often lesser-known dramas.

The latter description ap-plies to the next produc-tion of Dickinson College’s Department of Theater and Dance — “The Caucasian Chalk Circle,” by German playwright Bertolt Brecht.

Based on a Chinese par-able, the play is both a dra-matic and often-comic tale of one woman’s efforts to protect a child during the turmoil of war.

“Brecht’s play challenges theatrical conventions and political ideas,” says Associ-ate Professor of Theater Dr. Karen Lordi-Kirkham.

The focus of the Dickin-son theater department is on teaching the art of theater and dance in a liberal arts setting. In that spirit, classes and productions are open to the entire student body.

The department also sponsors two clubs, The Mermaid Players and Dance Theatre Group, which are co-curricular and have pri-mary faculty involvement.

“We have used people

from the community when there are certain roles that needed to be filled, but gen-erally we audition first from the student body,” says Lor-di-Kirkham.

“Students give us sugges-tions for the season, and we meet regularly with the ex-ecutive boards of both Mer-maid Players and the Dance Theatre Group,” she adds.

Dickinson does a musi-cal every other year, and Shakespeare or another classic in the “off year.”

“The Caucasian Chalk Circle” will be staged at 8 p.m. March 4, 5, 7 and 8 in Mathers Theater in Holland Union Building. Tickets are $5, but $3 for students with advance purchase.

Following less than a month later is “Spring Repertory at The Cubiclo,” which presents two plays highlighting the talents of senior theater majors.

“Spring Repertory” will be staged at 8 p.m. April 1; 2 and 8 p.m. April 2; and 2 p.m. April 3 on the second floor of Carlisle Theatre, 44 W. High St., Carlisle. All performances are free.

messiah redefines classic

“Classic” in theater means more than the Bard or Brecht.

Messiah College’s Theater Department is presenting one of the classics of the musical theater world — Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel” — next term.

The story of the ill-fated love between a barker (a person who attempts to at-tract patrons to entertain-ment events) and an inno-cent young woman, human error and redemption is based on “Lilliom,” by the playwright Ferenc Molnar, and contains such wonder-ful songs as “If I Loved You,” “My Boy Bill,” “When the Children Are Asleep” and “When You Walk Through a Storm.” Edward R. Cohn of the Messiah faculty will direct the show.

The department currently has 31 theater majors and 13 theater minors. To become a theater major, a student must undergo an audition/interview process, says Tymberley A. Whitesel, de-partment co-chair. There

are three areas of empha-sis — acting, directing and technical theater and de-sign.

“Our theater season in-cludes two main stage plays, three short plays and student showcases,” says Whitesel. “In addition , we have a musical each Janu-ary term. Any Messiah Col-lege student may audition for our productions, which range from ‘Godspell’ to ‘Dead Man Walking’ to Shakespeare’s ‘Comedy of Errors.’”

“Carousel” will be staged at 8 p.m. Feb. 3-5 and 10-12 and at 3 p.m. Feb. 6 and 13.

Senior Showcases follow, running at 8 p.m. March 3-5. And, on the mainstage, Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” will be presented April 7-17.

Love of area theater not just academic

By BarBara TraiNiN BlaNkSentinel [email protected]

College students may be on break already, but it won’t be long before they’re back on campus — and act-ing up a storm.

Several area colleges and universities have active the-ater departments, which not only teach students the theory of acting, directing and the technical aspects of stage, but put on diverse and sophisticated produc-tions — ranging from mu-sicals to comedies to often lesser-known dramas.

The latter description ap-plies to the next produc-tion of Dickinson College’s Department of Theater and Dance — “The Caucasian Chalk Circle,” by German playwright Bertolt Brecht.

Based on a Chinese par-able, the play is both a dra-matic and often-comic tale of one woman’s efforts to protect a child during the turmoil of war.

“Brecht’s play challenges theatrical conventions and political ideas,” says Associ-ate Professor of Theater Dr. Karen Lordi-Kirkham.

The focus of the Dickin-son theater department is on teaching the art of theater and dance in a liberal arts setting. In that spirit, classes and productions are open to the entire student body.

The department also sponsors two clubs, The Mermaid Players and Dance Theatre Group, which are co-curricular and have pri-mary faculty involvement.

“We have used people

from the community when there are certain roles that needed to be filled, but gen-erally we audition first from the student body,” says Lor-di-Kirkham.

“Students give us sugges-tions for the season, and we meet regularly with the ex-ecutive boards of both Mer-maid Players and the Dance Theatre Group,” she adds.

Dickinson does a musi-cal every other year, and Shakespeare or another classic in the “off year.”

“The Caucasian Chalk Circle” will be staged at 8 p.m. March 4, 5, 7 and 8 in Mathers Theater in Holland Union Building. Tickets are $5, but $3 for students with advance purchase.

Following less than a month later is “Spring Repertory at The Cubiclo,” which presents two plays highlighting the talents of senior theater majors.

“Spring Repertory” will be staged at 8 p.m. April 1; 2 and 8 p.m. April 2; and 2 p.m. April 3 on the second floor of Carlisle Theatre, 44 W. High St., Carlisle. All performances are free.

messiah redefines classic

“Classic” in theater means more than the Bard or Brecht.

Messiah College’s Theater Department is presenting one of the classics of the musical theater world — Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Carousel” — next term.

The story of the ill-fated love between a barker (a person who attempts to at-tract patrons to entertain-ment events) and an inno-cent young woman, human error and redemption is based on “Lilliom,” by the playwright Ferenc Molnar, and contains such wonder-ful songs as “If I Loved You,” “My Boy Bill,” “When the Children Are Asleep” and “When You Walk Through a Storm.” Edward R. Cohn of the Messiah faculty will direct the show.

The department currently has 31 theater majors and 13 theater minors. To become a theater major, a student must undergo an audition/interview process, says Tymberley A. Whitesel, de-partment co-chair. There

are three areas of empha-sis — acting, directing and technical theater and de-sign.

“Our theater season in-cludes two main stage plays, three short plays and student showcases,” says Whitesel. “In addition , we have a musical each Janu-ary term. Any Messiah Col-lege student may audition for our productions, which range from ‘Godspell’ to ‘Dead Man Walking’ to Shakespeare’s ‘Comedy of Errors.’”

“Carousel” will be staged at 8 p.m. Feb. 3-5 and 10-12 and at 3 p.m. Feb. 6 and 13.

Senior Showcases follow, running at 8 p.m. March 3-5. And, on the mainstage, Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” will be presented April 7-17.

With Christmas just around the corner, the to-do list certainly doesn’t lack entries. But before the pressure of the holidays gets you Grinched, give yourself a good time on the town with one of many en-tertainment options this week.

Tonight, Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center’s Stage on Herr is the place to be for music, when they host a not-to-be-missed night of local music fea-turing three acoustic rock bands. Carlisle-based singer songwriter Cam-ela Widad Kraemer leads the lineup, which also in-cludes Kevin Neidig and Suzi Brown. Brown will be joined on stage by Sarah Deardorff of the band In-dian Summer Jars, as well as Joseph Cheng.

The musicians were re-cently featured on 97.3 The River radio show with Mi-chael Anthony Smith for a live on-air performance in advance of the show.

They will appear at Stage on Herr, 268 Herr St., Har-risburg, tonight, starting at 8 p.m. Admission is free.

Midtown music and artThe weekend brings more

eclectic entertainment fare, with Friday night offering events from Harrisburg’s own film co-op, Moviate, and Midtown gallery the Mantis Collective.

Filmmaker John Wa-ters’ Dreamland ensemble Superstar Mink Stole and Her Wonderful Band will appear for a highly an-ticipated show at Stage on

Herr on Friday. Mink Stole is best known for her work with friend John Waters, and is one of only two per-formers to appear in all of his films.

She will appear with Her Wonderful Band members for this special Christmas show, including John Irvine on trumpet.

Around the corner at the Mantis/Moviate headquar-ters, another Dreamland performer will present her drawings and paintings in the gallery, located at 1306 N. Third St. Susan Lowe, an actress and artist, first appeared in Waters’ film “Mondo Trasho” while still an art student.

She later played the lead role in “Desperate Living” after appearing in several other films, and is current-ly a professor at the Uni-versity of Maryland and at Maryland Institute College of Art. The exhibit will be on view until mid-January, and the opening reception will take place from 8-10 p.m. Friday.

Festive filmsFilm lovers won’t have to

wish for snow this week-end if they make their way to the Midtown Cinema. The area’s beloved inde-pendent theater is offering a rare chance to see holiday staple “White Christmas” on the big screen.

The film, originally re-leased in 1954, stars Bing

Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rose-mary Clooney and Vera-Ellen and features music from Irving Berlin.

It will be shown for two days only at 7:30 p.m. Sat-urday and 2:45 and 5:10 p.m. Sunday. For more in-formation, visit www.mid-towncinema.com.

And if you still find your-self short on seasonal spirit next week, clear your cal-endar Wednesday night for a last-minute shot of Christmas cheer.

Now in it’s eighth year, Moviate’s annual “Holly Jolly Film Shorts” screen-ing offers a selection of vintage 16mm holiday films not available on vid-eo, including Max Fleish-

er’s animated short from 1936, “Christmas Comes But Once a Year.”

The program this week is the second and final of the two-part series slated for the 2010 season.

So whether you missed last weekend’s screening or you just can’t get enough holiday fun, be sure to make it to Mantis/Moviate early to catch this heart-warming good time before it’s gone.

Cookies and hot cider will be served, and the screening is appropriate for all ages. Admission is by $5 donation.

For more information, visit www.themantiscol-lective.com.
