THIS WEEKEND IN THEATER: Cherry red cardigan sweaters, pearl necklaces and the Mouse King

Posted on Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 2:18 PM

Here's what to look for during the last big theater weekend of the year. (You may have heard: The next couple of weekends have some major holidays.)  

Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings offers four-part harmony from a '50s group of guys who have come down from heaven to croon just for us: Robby French, Steve Booth, Christian Duhamel and Mark Cotter. The CdA Summer Theater's winter show will play Fri-Sat 7:30 pm and Sun 2 pm. Our preview offers more info.

A Taffeta Christmas simulates a 1954 TV broadcast, with four sisters singing popular holiday tunes on Thurs-Sat 7:30 pm and Sun 2 pm at Lake City Playhouse in Coeur d'Alene. Our review provides a report card. 

White Christmas finishes its sold-out run at the Civic this weekend. 

For the second year, Ballet Memphis joins the Spokane Symphony Orchestra for Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker on Fri-Sat 7:30 pm, Sat-Sun 2 pm at the INB Center (not the Fox). 

The Little Mermaid has cute kids playing guppies and sea plants and stuff on Thurs-Sat 7 pm and Sat 4 pm at Theater Arts for Children, 10814 E. Broadway Ave. (just east of University Rd.). It's a musical starring Anemone, who really, really wants to be human.

Last chance for "Season's Greetings" at the Blue Door Theater: Friday at 8 pm. Improv comedy for Christmas with an irreverent theme. Call 747-7045. Saturdays at 9 pm, too, for "Safari."
