CITY MANAGER’S WEEKLY UPDATE Plans Announced for 2011 “Holiday at the Hall” Event Lewisville will kick off the Christmas season with its annual “Holiday at the Hall” celebration on Saturday, Dec. 3, in Old Town Lewisville. Many of the activities will be held in and around the new Medical Center of Lewisville Grand Theater at 100 N. Charles Street. The day will kick off at 8 a.m. as Greater Lewisville Kiwanis Club holds its annual Breakfast With Santa, serving pancakes, sausage and juice in the Recital Hall of the MCL Grand. Tickets are $1 for children ages 2 and younger, $3 for children ages 3-12, and $5 for guests ages 13 and older.

The show stars Mark Mullino, who also directs, Eric Domuret, Doug Miller and Jacob Villarreal, and features music direction by critically acclaimed pianist Vonda K.

These real-life Broadway and opera stars are ready to warm your holidays with a classic, pop and deep-fried fest of musical delights. Those singing trailer park angels are packing their festive Christmas mullets and will be dashing through the snow just in time for some down-home holiday cheer with “3 Redneck Tenors Christmas SPEC-TAC-YULE-AR,” written and directed by Matthew Lord with musical arrangements by award winning composer Craig Bohmler. The show currently is running at The Mansion Theatre in Branson, Missouri. Familiar tunes in the show include “Sleigh Ride,” “White Christmas,” “O Holy Night” and many more – but audiences will talk for days about such popular spoofs as “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.” “3 Redneck Tenors Christmas SPEC-TAC-YULE-AR” stars Matthew Lord, Blake Davidson, Dinny McGuire and Alex Bumpas.
