GLEE $8-$10 We don’t know if the popularity of the TV show “Glee” makes it cooler to be in the high school glee club. But we think it’s pretty cool, and there’s a big glee club performance coming up in Lake Highlands. The Lake Highlands High School glee club, Espree, turns 30 this year. And its annual musical show is a celebration called “The House is Rockin’”. The show is a compilation of classic rock tunes from the past three decades, as well as current rock hits. The group performs choreographed ensembles, duets and solos with a troupe of 12 vocalists, six instrumentalists and one sound technician. Tickets to the Friday and Saturday 7:30 p.m. shows in the high school’s auditorium, 9449 Church, are $8 for general admission and $10 for reserved seating. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact Lynne Thornton at 469.364.9219, or Diana French at 214.349.3192. —R ACHEL S Ton E

tHE CHEEKY s HIR ts s AY I t ALL : “One ball is not enough.” And after a trip to The Cake Ball Company, you’ll likely agree with that statement, which is printed on T-shirts sold at the shop. Owner Robin Ankeny creates chocolate sake cake balls dusted in espresso powder, wedding cake balls blended with cream cheese icing and the newly added strawberry cake balls dunked in dark chocolate — all of them equally tempting and delicious. And just for February, each cake ball is adorned with pretty pink sprinkles and tiny red hearts. You can order those for your sweetheart by the half-dozen up to three dozen — but whatever you do, don’t order just one.
