SUMMARY:'Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil
DESCRIPTION:Twas the Night Before… by Cirque du Soleil is a Christmas themed show inspired by the joy of giving and the wonder of the holiday season\, with something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Whether you are a child of 5\, 50\, or 95 years old you are sure to be wowed by incredible acrobatics and a heart-warming story this season at Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford\, CT for a strictly limited engagement\, November 29 – December 8\, 2024. This is the first time that a Cirque du Soleil show has performed at the iconic venue. \nTWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE… BY CIRQUE DU SOLEIL \n‘Twas the NIght Before… is Cirque du Soleil’s first Christmas show\, based on the classic poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” by Clement Clarke Moore. Memorable lines from this cherished classic inspired Cirque du Soleil’s story about a jaded young girl who rediscovers the magic of Christmas. A festive flurry of love and cheer created especially for families\, ‘Twas the Night Before… features thrilling acrobatics performed by a cast of 26 artists sailing from all over the world\, lovable characters and a soundtrack including Christmas favorites re-invented by Cirque du Soleil. \nIt’s the holidays\, but this year\, things are different. For years\, Isabella and her father have read A Visit from Saint Nicholas together. However\, this year Isabella feels like she’s outgrown the family tradition. But then the magic of the poem comes to life\, and Isabella and her father are unexpectedly separated by a snowstorm that sends them on a fantastical journey. In a winter wonderland inspired by the poem\, they discover whimsical characters\, acrobats\, children and reindeer who reunite father and daughter in the holiday spirit. \nTickets start at $44.

SUMMARY:BERKSHIRE TALKING CHRONICLE FEATURES  THE LORD THE RINGS TRILOGY
DESCRIPTION:WHO: WRRS 104.3 and UCP of WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS BEGINS A NEW FANTASY SERIES \nWHAT: THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY\nWHEN: WEDNESDAYS\, DECEMBER 4TH\, 2024 FROM 3:30 – 4:30PM. \nWHY: BECAUSE THERE’S NOTHING LIKE LORD OF THE RINGS \nHOW: TUNE INTO 104.3 LPFM AT 3:30PM – SIT BACK\, RELAX AND ENJOY. \nWRRS is excited to announce a wonderful new series! Beginning Wednesday\, December 4\, 2024\, WRRS 104.3 LPFM will start broadcasting the Lord of the Rings trilogy\, read by our long-time radio reader\, Dan Cook. Dan has been a part of the WRRS 104.3 LPFM volunteer team since the fall of 2017\, initially reading the Berkshire Eagle. Recently\, he expanded his repertoire to include fantasy books for the Berkshire Talking Chronicle’s Summer Reading Program for Kids. \nDan first read The Hobbit and then traveled back in time to explore the 19th-century series The Princess and the Goblin\, written by George MacDonald. Many fans of the Lord of the Rings series believe that MacDonald’s work inspired Tolkien to write both The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings. \nNow\, we are fortunate to embark on a comprehensive journey through the Lord of the Rings series with Dan\, who will provide his best and longest reading to date. Each Wednesday at 3:30 PM\, we invite everyone to pause their activities\, grab a snack and a beverage\, and listen to one of the greatest fantasy series ever written. We hope everyone enjoys this opportunity to relax and participate in the Berkshire Talking Chronicle’s fantasy story hour\, one of the many programs offered by BTC for our listeners. \nThe mission of WRRS 104.3 LPFM is to create an engaging radio experience that fosters inclusion for the sight and print impaired. Since our establishment in 1984 and first live broadcast in 1986\, we have proudly served as a vital part of this community. Located in Pittsfield at the Clock Tower Business Center\, Suite 201\, 75 South Church Street\, we invite you to join us in our commitment to providing accessible and inspiring programming that enhances lives.
