Putting on the lights Denton’s holiday season begins with Friday night festival enton will get dressed up for the winter holidays on Friday.

The annual Denton Holiday Lighting Festival starts just after the workday on the downtown Denton Square.

Bring your best voice for the Christmas carol singalong with the Denton Community Band, greetings from Denton dignitaries and the lighting of the Christmas tree on the Square.

After that, attendees have more to choose from than they’ll be able to get to. Vendor booths will ring the Square, and performances — dance and music — will spread across seven stages

D

downtown.

Wassail Fest is a two-day event this year. It starts at the lighting and then continues from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

Downtown merchants will be open for the lighting, serving holiday-themed foods and selling merchandise that might help shoppers cross off part of their gift shopping list.

The monthly First Friday Arts mixer will be happening at downtown galleries during Friday evening, too.

The festival will host a toy drive. Toys gathered will be distributed to families needing assistance during the Christmas

season in Denton County. Toy drop-offs will be at the southeast corner of the Square.

The festival is free and ends with the Denton Holiday Spectacular, a concert of holiday music featuring the Holiday Spectacular Orchestra and guests from Denton’s bustling music scene. David J. Pierce directs the finale.

The Holiday Festival Association will be selling a CD of Christmas music by Denton musicians from this and former Holiday Spectacular shows. It costs $15 and is also available on iTunes.

Play crowds human ideals into one atom at the universe’s end Said and Done is about everything that could happen after — wait for it — all has been said and done.

Sundown Collaborative Theatre’s latest show started with a proposal from Denton artist Kasey Tackett.

Tackett tried to suppose what might happen after the end of everything. In Said and Done, which opens Friday, ideas — and ideals — emerge in the form of characters.

Life and Death take a promenade with Faith and Science. Adam (could he be a manifestation of the first human being in Genesis?) appears, Nature gets on with its prodigal self and Time can’t be discounted.

This is Tackett’s first play, and the Denton singer and actress is making her directorial debut. She’s directed staged readings in town, and she’s worked with Sundown before, but this is her first time to take the helm of a fully produced, fulllength show.

Said and Done was created with the playwright, players and director. Together, the company created a play about the characters who have a itch to be known — to be felt and understood. The universe has been destroyed, and all of the characters are still together, existing in a single atom. One thing is certain: There will be a struggle.

Company stages local holiday dance tradition his weekend marks the 15th year Denton City Dance Conservatory will stage A Gift for Emma, a holiday fantasia in dance.

Created by artistic director Lisa Racina, Emma borrows the spirit and tradition of Christmas and replaces a ho-hum winter recital with a story about Emma, a street urchin who sneaks into a dance studio, falls asleep under a Christmas tree and takes a journey. Curious creatures from earth and sea as well as childhood visions usher Emma through a dreamscape and, ultimately, give her the gift of dance.

Racina drafted dancers from among her students at Denton City Contemporary Ballet and its home studio, Denton Dance Conservatory. A Gift for Emma pairs emerging dancers with professional performers.

Professional guest artists return. Yulia Ilina, an alumna of the Kiev Ballet, brings touches of The Nutcracker to the production in her classical grand pas de deux. Chris Koehl, a former faculty member of the Denton con-

The shirts off their backs Sophisticated ladies strip for a cause in ‘Calendar Girls’ he real-life women of Calendar Girls were all ladies “of a certain age.”

As members of the Rylstone Women’s Institute of Yorkshire, England, the women weren’t in the business of making waves or testing boundaries. They just wanted to raise enough money to buy a sofa for a hospital waiting room.

But they did make waves — and raise a lot money — by taking their clothes off for a tasteful but provocative calendar.

The stage comedy, based on the 2003 film, follows best friends Chris Harper and Annie Clarke. Chris urges Annie, who’s lost her husband to leukemia, to champion the idea of a nude calendar to do something novel

and raise money for the muchneeded seat. As the calendar earns media attention, the women’s relationships are tested.

Greater Lewisville Community Theatre is the first Texas company to produce the comedy inspired by a real-life story.

One of the institute’s members had spent hours in a local hospital, where her husband struggled through cancer and died in 1998. When she mentioned the need for a comfortable spot for grieving families, her best friend and fellow institute member suggested a nude calendar. The project raised millions for leukemia and lymphoma research.

Denton actresses Dena Dunn and Kay Lamb play the principal roles of Chris, the woman who instigated the calendar, and retired schoolteacher Jessie.

estival Hall will be filled with sounds of gospel Christmas music, and the smells of a hot breakfast from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday at the Patterson-Appleton Center for the Performing Arts.

The sixth annual Gospel Brunch raises money for the nonprofit Fred Moore Day Nursery School, which operates a child care center for children from six weeks old to 3 years old on Cross Timber Street. Children ages 3 to 5 attend Fred Moore Day Nursery School at the Gonzalez School for Young Children on Long Road.

The school serves low-income families who need affordable care for infants, toddlers and young children. Fees are based on parent income, and the waiting list is usually long.

and Fred Moore Day Nursery School Executive Director Wendy McGee said the brunch will raise money to finish the new addition on the Cross Timber Street site.

The 4,322-square-foot addition includes two new classrooms and a large activity room that were completed last spring.

Before the rooms go into use, school officials need to get a certificate of occupancy — which was expected to come in this week — and to furnish the rooms.

Funds will also go toward buying curricula for the school, McGee said.

“This is a really exciting time for us,” McGee said. “The last few years, we’ve almost doubled the number of children we serve thanks to the partnership we have with Gonzalez. About 64 children attend the Cross Timber space, and 69 go out to Gonzalez. That made a huge differ-

ence for us.”

McGee took over the directorship of the school about two years ago, and has worked with the school’s staff to improve training. She joined her staff in taking child development associate training through the state.

“I don’t come from an early childhood background, so I thought it would benefit me as much as it would the staff,” she said.

Bays said the Texas Workforce Commission provided some scholarships for school staff to take the training. Bays and the board have busied themselves writing grants to complete the school’s Cross Timber Street expansion, which includes parking for parents for safer morning drop-off.

Once the addition is operational, the school’s offices will move to spaces in the activity room, putting McGee and the staff in greeting distance of par-

Bays said the annual Gospel Brunch is a relaxed, fun event for school officials to meet school supporters. It also attracts gospel music fans who are ready for holiday music. The school’s staff cook, who was recruited by McGee to prepare fresh, wholesome food to the children, prepares the brunch.

wo of the top jazz ensembles at the University of North Texas College of Music will make history on Saturday night.

The UNT One O’clock Lab Band will share a concert with the UNT Jazz Singers. Each will perform a short program before performing three numbers together.

Trumpet professor Jay Saunders, the interim director of the One O’clock Lab Band, said the concert, “Sounds of the Holidays,” was supposed to happen about a year ago.

Then came “Icemageddon,” a four-day deep

“We got iced out,” Saunders said.

Both Saunders and Jennifer Barnes, who’s directed the UNT Jazz Singers since 2011, were surprised their ensembles hadn’t shared the stage before.

“I’m like you,” Saunders said. “It seems like the two groups ought to have performed together before now.

UNT One O’clock Lab Band keyboard players Drew Zaremba, left, and Sergio Pamies groove during rehearsal Nov. 25, in preparation for the first joint concert of the jazz band and the UNT Jazz Singers. The holiday concert will be at 8 p.m. Saturday in Winspear Hall at the Murchison Performing Arts Center.

UNT separate programming tracks.

College divisions have distinct missions and aims, not to mention plenty of work to do. Barnes said members of the Jazz Singers have worked with the lab bands before as soloists.

“I think, since I got here, that was definitely a goal that I had, and Jay was interested in seeing the two groups work together,” Barnes said. “The One O’clock Lab Band is a world-class ensemble, basically a professional performing ensemble. I wanted to have the world-class instrumental jazz ensemble and the world-class vocal jazz group work together.”

Saunders said the audience will get a sampler of sorts during the concert.

“The band is going to do four numbers, the singers will do four numbers, and then they’ll do three numbers together,” he said. “The three songs the two groups will perform together were arranged by students.”

“… this concert is different because we’ll have some people who maybe aren’t big jazz fans, but they love the music and want to tap their toes.”

— Jennifer Barnes, director of the UNT Jazz Singers Barnes said she arranged vocal lines for Karen Carpenter’s “Merry Christmas, Darling” and student composer Aaron Hedenstrom arranged the instrumental score for it. Composition student Drew Zaremba, a former member of the Jazz Singers, arranged one of the joint numbers.

Barnes and Saunders said the technical demands of bringing the two groups into Winspear Hall eclipse the performance challenges.

“They are obvious with the Jazz Singers and a large group like this,” Saunders said. “The singers need mics and monitors for themselves. And the lab band typically uses some of that, too.

For the number involved here, it’s going to be acoustic, bandwise. We would need something from Hollywood for a 21-piece orchestra and a 17-piece vocal

group. So we’ve had to work around that.”

The Jazz Singers usually perform with keyboard, bass and guitar and drums. The group performs some a cappella jazz, too.

The concert will feature jazz arrangements of holiday pop classics and a few arrangements of carols. Saunders said the lab band’s audience favorites will probably be the secular holiday classics.

“Most of our stuff is the holiday pop stuff,” Saunders said.

“No Messiahs for us. It’s doable [but] I’m not sure people want it.”

Barnes said there’s no shortage of Christmas music, but there aren’t as many arrangements for big band and jazz chorus. And there’s a certain line a vocal jazz group must tread when they are performing

Christmas music.

“I definitely chose ‘The Christmas Song,’ which most people think is ‘Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.’ Mel Torme wrote it, which a lot of people don’t know, and it’s definitely a jazz oriented song,” she said.

The Jazz Singers will give “Jingle Bells” a light touch, too.

“I think the instrumentalists can mess it up a little more and people don’t mind because it doesn’t mess with a lyric,” Barnes said. “I’ve been talking with the Jazz Singers a lot, telling them that this concert is different because we’ll have some people who maybe aren’t big jazz fans, but they love the music and want to tap their toes. And those folks need it to sound pretty. We can’t mess it up too much, because we have the lyrics.”

Saunders and Barnes said the concert is good training for both groups.

“It allows the improvisers, as well as the student arrangers, to practice improvising and arranging jazz music in the Christmas spirit — to keep things happy and light,” Barnes said, adding that the groups will experi-

ence the uptick in energy that comes from such a large group of performers being onstage together.

“You have to work a little harder at the listening part,” she said. “On the flip side, when the band hits a big fat chord and the vocals are nice and spread out — that is really exciting.”

The One O’clock Lab Band and Jazz Singers will reunite on April 16-17 for a concert honoring the College of Music’s acquisition of the collection of jazz vocalist and arranger Gene Puerling.

OPENING FRIDAY The Babadook (★★1⁄2) This Australian horror film centers on the recently widowed Amelia (Essie Davis), mother to 7-year-old terror Samuel (Noah Wiseman). The overactive son reads a pop-up children’s book about the mythical demon Babadook and then thinks the monster is everywhere, eventually causing his mother to maybe think the same thing. Or is she slowly going mad? Writer-director Jennifer Kent uses the usual tricks of the genre to deliver a standard yet sometimes effective set of chills. Not rated, 93 minutes. At the Texas Theatre in Dallas and Alamo Drafthouse in Richardson. — Boo Allen Diplomacy (Diplomatie) (★★★1⁄2) In August 1944, Allied forces approach Paris. German Gen. von Choltitz (Niels Arestrup) has orders to destroy Paris in his retreat. If he fails, his family in Berlin will be killed.

Swedish diplomat Raoul Nordling (Andre Dussollier) intervenes with a way for the general to save his family as well as Paris. Volker Schlondorff directs the French-language film from Cyril Gely’s play, a talky, claustrophobic production that nevertheless conveys the situation’s urgency and suspense. Schlondorff dedicates his film to late diplomat Richard Holbrook. Not rated, 84 minutes. At the Angelika Film Center in Dallas. — B.A. The One I Wrote for You A barista and family man (Cheyenne Jackson) gets a second chance at his dream of becoming a singer-songwriter. Family film shot and produced in San Antonio. With Christine Woods, Christopher Lloyd, Kevin Pollak and Avi Lake.

Story and original music by David Kauffman. Directed by Andy Lauer.

Rated PG, 111 minutes.

NOW PLAYING Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day A boy experiences a calamitous day and learns that he’s not alone when his family members face their own tribulations in this comedy based on the Judith Viorst children’s book. With Ed Oxenbould, Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner. Rated PG, 80 minutes. — Los Angeles Times Big Hero 6 (★★★) Directed by Don Hall (Winnie the Pooh) and Chris Williams (Bolt), the animated Big Hero 6 is a fine blend of sweetness and spectacle, East and West. The meeting of Disney and Marvel sensi-

DOCUMENTARY SCREENING When: 7 p.m. today Where: Room 184 in the UNT Radio, TV, Film and Performing Arts Building, 1179 Union Circle ■ “An Unspoken Struggle” — The film’s director focuses on the life struggles he experienced after the last time he saw his father. Directed

by Vicente Mares of San Antonio.

■ “Funeral School” — A young funeral director discusses his duties and experiences on the job, and explains why someone in his early 20s chose the profession. Directed by Adam Michael Wright of Stillwater, Oklahoma.

■ “To Be With You” — A couple overcomes difficulties to be together in the U.S., after nine years with one living in China and the other living in the U.S. Directed by Yu Wang of China.

■ “Keep Moving” — An inspirational fitness facility in Denton helps seniors citizens ages 65 and older find community and friendship. Directed by Niki Warncke of Philadelphia.

■ “Little Germany, Texas” — A group of German women celebrate each other’s birthdays in a traditional fashion, and have built lasting relationships since they began the tradition 38 years ago. Directed by Michael B. Mullins of Wolfe City.

bilities, though, is a more mixed union. When the young inventor Hiro (voiced by Ryan Potter) and the lovable robot Baymax (Scott Adsit) strap on their body armor, girding for battle, the movie’s charms are camouflaged. Also in 3-D. Rated PG, 95 minutes. — The Associated Press Dumb and Dumber To Two idiots go on a road trip to locate the daughter one of them had but never knew existed in this sequel to the 1994 film Dumb and Dumber. With Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels and Laurie Holden. Directed by Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly. Rated PG-13, 109 minutes. — LAT Fury (★★★) Brad Pitt stars as a top sergeant in World War II in charge of a tight-knit tank crew (Jon Bernthal,

Michael Pena and Shia LaBeouf) joined by a raw soldier (Logan Lerman). Writer-director David Ayer delivers a fairly standard war movie.

The special effects help render a grim, realistic portrait of men in battle. Rated R, 135 minutes. — B.A. Horrible Bosses 2 Having haplessly tried to murder their bosses in the first Horrible Bosses, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis return as hopeful inventors. They go into business with a bath product dubbed “Shower Buddy.” The entrepreneurial efforts of the film’s ever-yammering trio, of course, fail, and the film descends into a thinly sketched kidnapping plot that serves mainly to space its celebrity cameos. With

Christoph Waltz, Chris Pine, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston. Rated PG-13, 108 minutes. — AP The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1 (★★) Jennifer Lawrence returns as Katniss Everdeen in the first film based on the third novel from Suzanne Collins’ trilogy. Katniss serves as District 13’s promotional tool, setting up the final showdown with President Snow (Donald Sutherland). Director Francis Lawrence’s perpetually gloomy settings filled with massive green-screen displays of destruction eventually grow repetitious with a distinct lack of action or energy. With Juliane Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Elizabeth Banks. Rated PG-13, 123 minutes. — B.A. Interstellar (★★★) Writer-director Christopher Nolan creates a specialeffects extravaganza about a crew of astronauts leaving a doomed Earth for parts unknown to find a habitable environment where humans can live.

Matthew McConaughey heads an impressive cast dwarfed by the special effects and an overly talkative script. With Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine and Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck. Rated PG-13, 169 minutes. — B.A. Nightcrawler (★★★★) Jake Gyllenhaal’s bold, committed performance makes Nightcrawler one of the most entertaining movies of the year — though hardly the most profound.

Gyllenhaal plays Lou Bloom, a forlorn petty thief who discovers the “nightcrawlers” — freelance cameramen who follow police scanner traffic to grisly scenes. Compelling and altogether impressive directorial debut for screenwriter Dan Gilroy. Rated R, 117 minutes. — AP The Penguins of Madagascar (★★★1⁄2) In this clever, fast-paced animated delight, a quartet of Antarctic penguins are shanghaied to various places around the world when they join the mighty North Wind organization to fight off the worlddomination efforts of Dave the Octopus (voiced by John Malkovich). This latest from Dreamworks Animation never falters, delivering quips, oneliners, and some groan-inducing name puns. Additional voices by Benedict Cumberbatch, Ken Jeong, Peter Stormare, Andy Richter, and, most hilariously, Warner Herzog as a film documentarian. Rated G, 91 minutes.

— B.A. Saving Christmas A man tries to save his sister’s annual Christmas party from his dour brother-in-law by showing him the biblical basis of the holiday celebration. With Kirk Cameron, Darren Doane and Bridgette Ridenour. Written by Doane and Cheston Hervey. Directed by Doane.

Rated PG, 80 minutes. — LAT St. Vincent (★★★1⁄2) Movie about a curmudgeon stars the singular Bill Murray at his grumpy best. Vincent (Murray) needs money, and soon he’s baby-sitting his new neighbor, 12year-old Oliver (the appealing Jaeden Lieberher), every afternoon. Written and directed by Theodore Melfi. Rated PG-13, 102 minutes. — AP
