A
cobbler and his wife are very poor. Two Christmas
Elves are sent to the cobbler to work for him until
he does something nice for them at which time the
elves will become true Christmas Elves and sent to
work for Santa at the North Pole. Not knowing how to
make shoes, the Elves do what they do best and make
toy dolls for the children. Using the cobbler's
leather scraps, the elves busily make dolls for the
cobbler and his wife. They become rich and no longer
need the help of the elves, but the elves can't
leave until their kindness has been repaid. One
night, the cobbler and his wife discover that it is
the elves that have helped them during their time of
need and decide to return their kindness by making
each of the elves a new pair of shoes. |

***
Performed in German with English translations ***
Mozart had an affair with the lead soprano - perhaps
you will too! (O.K., so it's just a rumor.) The
Abduction from the Seraglio helped to establish
Mozart's reputation well beyond Vienna, and this
charming production will be a ride you will never
forget - it's an 'Abduction on the Orient Express'!
Two lovely young women are held hostage on the
Orient Express and suffer greatly from the advances
of their Turkish captors. A carefully planned rescue
by their fiancs goes awry, but the Pasha frees them
in a surprising gesture of mercy. Celebrate Mozart's
250th birthday with a light-hearted journey from
Istanbul to Paris on the Orient Express, with FGO's
own Music Director Stewart Robertson at the
Throttle. |

As
"America's Foremost Commentator on Everything",
Lewis Black has proved himself a biting, comic
genius through his weekly segments on Comedy
Central's The Daily Show. This New Year's Eve, Black
brings his dead-pan exaggerations, sarcasm, sudden
outbursts of anger (akin to Sam Kinison), and
frankness directly to you. Black is candidly
self-deprecating and regularly rants on his
trademark angry observational humor on everything
from politics to pop culture, vaccines to computers,
celebrities to corporate greed and the U.S.
government. His fiery, political, and profane
material will have you laughing all night. A logical
extension of a George Carlin style comedian, Black
is, like Carlin, original on his own terms. |
