If you're still excited about Christmas, there are plenty of events this week to help you feel merry. Broadway comes to the Grand Opera House on Wednesday, Dec. 15 with New York Stage Originals' production, Scrooge. Scrooge is a musical retelling of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It's sure to warm your heart and get you in the Christmas spirit. If you want a heart-warming musical Christmas performance, but don't have the $28 for a ticket to Scrooge, you should see Handel's Messiah put on by the Choral Society of Middle Georgia with the help of Mercer's music department. Tickets are only $10, and the venue is the beautiful setting of St. Joseph's Catholic Church in downtown Macon. That's happening on Tuesday night at 7:30, and you can buy tickets at the door.
Sometimes the most interesting things to do in Middle Georgia are things that aren't the most widely advertised. While doing a little research on children's programming in the area, I discovered that the Georgia Children's Museum in downtown Macon has a Salvador Dali Traveling Art Exhibit for this week only! It's probably not a very large show, but admission to the museum is only $4. Even if you don't have kids, I've heard that the Children's Museum is really neat. So, if you appreciate art and don't have the time or money to drive to Atlanta for the Dali exhibit at the High Museum of Art, make sure you head over to the Georgia Children's Museum no later than Friday, Dec. 17.
Shirley Hills Baptist Church in Warner Robins takes a deviation from the standard church Christmas musical and makes their Christmas "play" interactive. From Dec. 17 to 19 you can visit a "Walk Thru Bethlehem," complete with camels. Their goal is to make you feel like you're actually in Bethlehem during Jesus' birth. What's even better is that this entertainment is free and fun for all ages.
That title almost rhymes Melissa ;-) Very impressive and way to promote the area. You need to talk to Ruth Sykes @ the visitor's bureau about a PT job ;-)
