Johnnie High’s Country Music Revue at the Arlington Music Hall has announced the schedule for its annual Christmas Shows including Saturday and Sunday matinees. These are the most popular and in-demand shows of the year at Johnnie High’s, so it’s best to buy your tickets in advance.

Johnnie High’s Country Music Revue has been a Texas tradition since 1974. The weekly country music variety show usually presents its show on Saturday nights, but high demand for the Christmas Show means extra performances on Thursdays, Friday, and Sundays.

Johnnie High is a singer, songwriter and businessman. In 1994, he moved his weekly revue to Arlington after purchasing an old movie theatre and turning it into the 1,200 seat Arlington Music Hall which is located on Center Street, just one block north of downtown Arlington.

The revue features an 8 member cast of singers and a band made up of professional musicians and backup singers. During the 34 years of Johnnie’s revue, audiences have been introduced to future superstars such as LeAnn Rimes, Lee Ann Womack, Linda Davis, and Garry Morris. Johnnie’s granddaughter, Ashley Smith, is a regular performer and often performs as co-host.

For more information on the Christmas Shows and/or to purchase tickets, call toll-free at (888) 544-2686. Group rates available for 20-or-more adults, so please call and ask about a group discount.

C.A.T.S. presents “Carla’s Song – The Story of the Homeless Christmas Tree”

November 23, 2009 by arlingtoninsider

Creative Arts Theatre & School (C.A.T.S.) presents “Carla’s Song – The Story of the Homeless Christmas Tree”
Fridays & Saturdays, December 4th-12th
C.A.T.S. Theatre
1100 West Randol Mill Road
Tickets: $8.00
(817) 265-8512
www.creativearts.org

C.A.T.S. (Creative Arts Theatre & School), one of the oldest youth theatres in the country, is presenting the play “Carla’s Song – The Story of the Homeless Christmas Tree”.

The play is based on the book The Homeless Christmas Tree which was written by Ft Worth author Leslie Gordon. The book is a children’s story, but this play (written & directed by CATS alumnus Kit Hussey) is about the woman behind the children’s story. That woman, Carla, lived and worked at the Presbyterian Night Shelter and she decorated the homeless Christmas tree.

According to Carla, there are some families at the night shelter which are going through a bad patch, and many overcome the temporary circumstances and leave the shelter for more normal lives.

The Homeless Christmas Tree is a story of hope, Christmas, and an extraordinary city full of caring people. C.A.T.S. believes this is a must-see show for the holiday season.

During the opening weekend of the production (Dec. 4th-5th), there will be special book signings at the evening performances. C.A.T.S. is also asking patrons to support the Presbyterian Night Shelter and Mission Arlington’s food drive by brining donated items to the production.

C.A.T.S. will present six shows:

*Friday, December 4th; 7:30pm
*Saturday matinee on December 5th; 2:30pm
*Saturday evening on December 5th; 7:30pm
*Friday, December 11th; 7:30pm
*Saturday matinee on December 12th at 2:30pm
*Saturday evening on December 12th at 7:30pm
*On Thursday, December 10th there will be a special daytime show for school groups.

General admission for shows on Friday & Saturday is only $8. All persons, (excluding infants age 1mo-11mo), must have a ticket to enter the Theatre. Lap Passes are $4 for each show, and are available for children 12 months to 35 months.

Tickets can be purchased at the CATS box office or by calling (817) 861-CATS. The C.A.T.S. theatre and box office are located on 1100 West Randol Mill Road (between Fielder and N. Cooper Street). You can also purchase tickets on-line (service charge of $1.80 added) by clicking here: https://buy.ticketstothecity.com/purchase.php?event_id=469
