The Fine Print

Children's theater is a great way to gently introduce kids to theater before they realize that most plays are just about sad guys talking.

Based on the first two novels in Mary Norton’s beloved series, The Borrowers follows the Clock family, who hail from a race of tiny people that live under the floorboards of “human beans” and survive by pilfering things from around their houses. When Arrietty, the Clock family’s adventurous 14-year-old daughter, has an encounter with a human boy, a friendship is forged that spells trouble for the entire clan. Over the course of the 65-minute show, young audience members will marvel at the play’s world of fantasy and adventure, and adults will find satisfaction in finally knowing what happened to their car keys. This play is recommended for children 8 and older.

The Rose Theater

When it was originally built as the Riviera in 1927, The Rose Theater played host to vaudeville skits, stage acts, and feature films in opulent surroundings of murals, oriental rugs, and a ceiling decorated with electric stars and clouds. However, the stock-market crash of 1929 forced the theater’s sale, bouncing it from owner to owner until Rose Blumkin and her family saved it from a giant wielding a wrecking ball as a mace. Renovated to its former glory, the theater is now a place where professional stage productions and drama courses give children the chance to enjoy and participate in the arts of the stage.

The Groupon Guide to: Buying a Car

Buying a car is an intimidating experience. The man looks at you. He wants to sell you the car for more than it is worth. Beat the man. Beat the man until he cries with these tips:

  • Always drive the car. This will let you make sure that it is free of the five most deadly species on earth and that it has a floor and the dealer isn’t Flintstone-ing you (a technique wherein the dealer sells you a car with no floor named after Flint Stone, an early dishonest car salesman).

  • Immediately list everything you hate about the car. It has a nick here, a dent there. It is the same color as your rival’s eyes. You looked at them in a field. You were the last man to look at those eyes. Your rival sold you a lemon. He is gone.

  • When the dealer says the price, scream. Oh, scream until your nose bleeds and all of creation fears your machinations. Oh, scream your voice raw, honey. Good heavens!

  • Ride away on your bicycle. This was good practice for when you really decide to buy a car.

Be sure to scream as fiercely as a newborn babe or warrior brave. Scream with all your grit, sweet honey.
