Mandy Gonzalez has thrilled audiences on Broadway, lit up the screen on television, and started a social movement. The Jasper Arts Center presents a special live streaming concert event on Saturday, October 10, 2020.  The performance, which begins at 7:30 pm ET will feature Broadway, standards, and pop; a live Q&A; and a duet with a local student. Tickets for the performance are $15 for individuals and $35 for groups of 3 or more. Purchase your tickets here.

Middle school and high school students in Dubois County are invited to submit an audition video for consideration. The selected student will have their duet premiered during the live stream. To be considered, students should record a 1-minute video of themselves singing one of the following – “For Good” from Wicked, “No More Tears (Enough is Enough)” from The Donna Summer Musical, or “When You’re Home” from In the Heights. Students should include their name, grade, and which school they attend.

About Mandy Gonzalez

While most recently starring as Angelica Schuyler in the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, she is best known for her emotional portrayal of Nina Rosario in the Tony Award winning, Lin-Manuel Miranda Broadway musical, In the Heights, a role she originally created Off Broadway at 37 Arts and which received a Drama Desk Award for Best Ensemble. Gonzalez also starred as Elphaba in the Broadway production of Wicked, blowing the roof off of New York’s Gershwin Theatre each night as she belted out the signature song, “Defying Gravity.” Other Broadway roles include Princess Amneris in the Elton John and Tim Rice musical Aida and the Broadway show Lennon, where she portrayed multiple roles, including that of Beatles’ icon John Lennon. Equally at home on the big and small screen, Gonzalez has appeared in Across the Universe, directed by Julie Taymor, as well as the ABC drama thriller Quantico and CBS’s Madam Secretary.

The historic Astra Theatre is coming back to life on Friday, October 30 as the film Beetlejuice is scheduled to appear.

The Next Act organization is summoning patrons back for haunting entertainment at the beloved Astra theatre. Tim Burton’s 1988 comedic fantasy film, Beetlejuice, is set to take over the big screen just in time to get everyone ratcheted up for the Halloween weekend.

Tickets are on sale now at www.TheNextAct.org:

General admission tickets on the main floor and balcony are $5.00 each and will be sold in blocks of 2, 3, and 4 seats to accommodate social distancing. The doors will open at 6:30 pm EST, with the featured film scheduled to begin at 7:00 pm EST. The movie is rated PG and has a runtime of 1 hour 32 minutes.

A Message from the Next Act:

“The Next Act is beyond excited to present this entertainment, and we want everyone in attendance to have a wonderful evening. Please know that a safe and responsible atmosphere will be adhered to. Seats will be limited and socially distanced (again, ticket purchasers MUST buy 2, 3, or 4 seats in a single block), volunteers will be masked up, and hand sanitizer will be readily available. In addition, attendees are also expected to wear masks while in and entering the building (they can be removed while seated and socially distanced).

So, saddle up a sandworm, and come out to the theatre ready to enjoy the show. The popcorn will be hot and the drinks cold. Also, it can be guaranteed that the volunteers will be smiling broadly under their masks as laughs conjure life back into this cherished building.

Get your tickets now and make plans to attend the show. The Next Act, Inc. hopes to have more shows scheduled to round out the year, and we are working feverishly to bring an exciting lineup of events for the 2021 season.  Tickets and information on upcoming shows can be found at www.TheNextAct.org.”

Held the third full weekend in November annually, features over 200 lavishly decorated booths spilling over with quality hand-created items, Christmas wares, antiques, art, delicious regional food and wine, live entertainment, free concerts, free tours, and so much more.

What is Christkindlmarkt?

In Germany, Christmas wares and gifts are sold in the festival-style setting of Christkindlmarkt. During the weeks of Advent, toymakers, basket weavers, woodcarvers, candle makers and other artisans set up booths in front of the local church, where browsers make their selections. The custom began in the 14th century and continues today in the charming “Bavarian” village of Ferdinand, Indiana.

Shopping

Handmade treasures and treats abound in over 200 stalls featuring table and wall décor, snowmen, folk art, primitives, Santas, original artwork, seasonal displays, inspirational, wood carvings, wooden signs, florals, rustic furniture, baskets, baby, herbal soaps, jewelry, scarves, purses, hats, wood crafts, quilts, candles, chocolates, gourmet fudge, jams, baked goods, cinnamon rolls, apple strudel, schnitzel, wine and much more.

Antiques Market

More than 40 booths will feature antiques, including glass, china, bisque, books, jewelry, primitives, furniture, pottery, linens, vintage, collectibles, Christmas, etc. If the warm wood tones don’t draw you in, maybe the cinnamon roasted nuts or wine surely will!

How to Become a Vendor

The Ferdinand Christkindlmarkt committee handles all vendor approvals – find details here.
