Many theatergoers claim that life imitates art, which can be frustrating when they pause arguments for intermissions or direct drivers to turn "stage left" at stop signs. Learn to navigate the theatrical world with today's Groupon: for $15, you get two general-admission tickets to The Company Theatre's production of Bah Humbug! – A One-Man Christmas Carol at Arneson River Theatre on Saturday, December 17, at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
For eight years running, The Company Theatre's B. Iden Payne award-winning actor J. Damian Gillen has been rallying seasonal spirits throughout Texas with his 60-minute one-man productions of Charles Dickens's beloved A Christmas Carol. Audience members can bring a blanket and find a spot among the 600 seats of the Arneson River Theatre on the historical San Antonio Riverwalk, where breathtaking holiday displays and glimmering lights will stoke festive feelings before the curtain rises. The talented thespian takes the stage as the tale's full range of characters, transmogrifying from Scrooge to Bob Crochet to Tiny Tim with biology-baffling ease. Costume changes and special effects add to the plausibility of Scrooge's heartwarming transformation, which will tug at the audience's heartstrings, then pull them out and knit them into a Christmas sweater. The December 17 performance is one of 30 shows in a 30-day tour of local venues and private functions throughout Texas.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Siblings
Because it's not polite to tell a child their age, many people don't know whether they are the eldest, middle, or youngest sibling in the family. Take this quiz to find out which one you might be:
Your favorite way to influence the future is by:
a. Organizing your son's social studies binder
b. Deconstructing Lego cities built by children to teach them to doubt the establishment
c. Chewing!
Your workout routine involves:
a. Bench-pressing smaller humans
b. Contemplating
c. Running on a metal wheel!
It's dinnertime. You take your place:
a. At the head of the table. Everyone in the family will be excited to hear you regale them with the story of how you won today.
b. In your bedroom. Watching your family members chew makes you sick.
c. In the food bowl! Hopefully you'll be able to pick out some of those delicious sunflower seeds!
If you could redecorate your home you would:
a. Expand. You need a home for all your cars and a garage for all your children. Oops! Other way around.
b. Burn the thing down
c. Add more tubes!
Answer key: If you picked mostly As: You're the eldest sibling, congratulations! Your assertive type A personality makes you a leader in the family and a difficult person to watch television with.
If you picked mostly Bs: You're the middle sibling. You're artistic, emotional, and immune to romantic comedy.
If you picked mostly Cs: Your name is Oreo, you're the fifth child in a litter of 14, and everyone here just wants you to come home.
