Proceeds from the series of concerts go towards music scholarships for CSU, Chico students. Presented at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 and 4 and 2 p.m. on Dec. 5 in Harlen Adams Theatre, Glorious Sounds of the Season! has become a Chico-area hol- iday tradition.

The Glorious Sounds of the Season! concerts feature various Music Department ensembles including the Wind Ensemble, Jazz X-Press, Acappella Choir, Cham- ber Singers, and the Uni- versity Chorus, as well as student soloists, student- led small ensembles, fac- ulty members, and per- formers from the Chico community, including the Arts & entertainment Holiday concert planned in Chico Shasta College Holiday Choral Concert Shasta College’s Division of Arts, Communications and Social Sciences announces the upcoming holiday concert of the Chamber and Concert Choirs at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4, in the Shasta College Theatre.

Generally the concerts are about two hours long, but since there is no down time, the audience doesn’t even realize that much time has passed.” There will be several opportunities for the audi- ence to join in with the performers by singing along on various seasonal favorites such as Let it Snow, and Joy to the World. All in all more than 25 musical selections will be performed.

Robin Hood musical Christian Youth The- ater, a non-denominational, non-profit corporation announces local youth throughout the Northstate area will perform in a Pio- neer Drama Services rendi- tion of Robin Hood, The Musical.

The annual Donna Stone Breed Memorial One-Acts will this year feature four comedies and two dramas. Perfor- mances of the six one-acts take place 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1-4 and 2 p.m. Dec. 4 and 5 in Wismer Theatre. "We are doing some top-notch one-acts," noted Cynthia Lammel, Department of Theatre faculty member and coor- dinator of the one-acts. "Come and support CSU, Chico Theatre Department students and have a great time as well." "Heaven’s Waiting Room," written by Gary Diamond and directed by Janette Wallen, sheds some light on a few universal truths human beings learn through trials and tribu- lations. "Lift and Bang," written by Julie Marie Myatt and direct- ed by Amanda Alden, is play set on a hot (in more ways than one) summer day where Grace is making bread and Ben comes to ask for forgiveness and perhaps a bit more. "Play," written by Samuel Beckett and directed by Stephanie Sousa, centers around a man, his wife and his mistress coming to terms with lies, betrayal, jealousy, fan- tasy and, ultimately, whatever peace is possible given the actions of these characters. "Words, Words, Words," written by David Ives and directed by Megan Sprowls, is about the law of probability decreeing that three monkeys typing into infinity will inevitably write "Hamlet." But what happens when the experiment is actually conducted? This year’s production of the one-acts will have a slight twist. In addition to four one act plays where the students get to call all the shots, Lammel will also be directing two one-act productions herself – Lucy Thurber’s "Liberal Arts College" and Richard LaGravenese’s "Recess." "Liberal Arts College" is a short, sweet, funny and lov- ingly overdramatic homage to Liberal Arts freshmen women. "Recess" reminds us that we are all "playing dodge ball" on life’s playground. Playwright LaGravenese pokes fun at our need to belong, our power struggles, good intentions, and turf wars. Advance tickets, at $15 general, $13 senior citizens and $6 children/students, are available at the University Box Office, 898-6333. Add $2 for tickets purchased at the door.

Photographic exhibit “Creatures in Best Light” photog- raphy by featured artist Gary Rowe will continue through Dec. 4 at the North Valley Art League Carter House Gallery in Redding. “During worldwide travel, I’ve enjoyed photographing people and other creatures,” Rowe said. “Fre- quently we only see creatures in poor or less than opti- mal light situations; I’ve tried to photograph these creatures in better lighted conditions so that all can appreciate the beauty of their colors, textures and shapes.”
