COLOR MATTERS
You put so much work into that perfect design. Shouldn’t your printing company put just as much effort into printing it right and making sure it has the perfect color?
We think so too.

Manito’s Gaiser Conservatory is lit up from treat a person of any religious background could enjoy.

Group rates available. 2 pm and 7:30 pm, also on Dec. 12, same times, at the Bing Crosby Theater. (CS) THU, DEC. 12
CHEERY CABARET
When it was decided the Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre would be no more (that all changed when CST was born again earlier this fall in new form) one of the area’s most prominent theater veterans, Ellen Travolta, stepped up to make sure that a fairly new Coeur d’Alene holiday tradition, started two seasons ago by CST, continued. “A Christmas Cabaret” features Travolta’s talents alongside local accomplished cabaret singer Mark Cotter and actor Jack Bannon, Travolta’s husband. See the trio’s lively show at the Coeur d’Alene Resort. $20-$25. Thu-Sat at 7:30 pm, Sun at 5 pm, through Dec. 21. (CS) FRI, DEC. 13
MERRY AND BRIGHT
More than a decade ago when my family first began going to the Friends of Manito’s annual holiday lights display at the park’s Gaiser Conservatory, we never had to wait in line to enter the greenhouse, even on a weekend. In the time since, though, this annual event has grown to become tradition
Dec. 13-22.
for many more local families, who don’t miss the chance to “ooh” and “ahh” at the decked-out greenhouse’s magical appearance. It’s well worth a wait in the cold. Inside the tepidly warm plant paradise, visitors experience the conservatory’s most spectacular residents — giant cacti, tropical orchids, birds of paradise, towering palms — shrouded in the warm glow of LED lights. The shining star, more than 100 years old, is the greenhouse’s fuchsia-blossomed Christmas cactus, which volunteers carefully drape with matching pink lights. To top off the holiday splendor, numerous varieties of poinsettias are brought in and placed throughout the display. Attending the event is free, but donations are welcome to keep the volunteer-based organization continuing. Dec. 13-22, open from 8 am-7:30 pm daily, best viewing after 4 pm. (CS) SAT, DEC. 14
A MILLION BUCKS
On a December night 57 years ago, four of history’s biggest rock ‘n’ roll icons gathered inside a Memphis recording studio for what would become a legendary jam session. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins came together to record for the first and only time. The Tony Awardwinning musical Million Dollar Quartet tells the story of what did and could have happened inside the studio’s four walls that fated night. Take a break from all that Christmas music and rock out oldschool instead. $32.50-$72.50. Dec. 14 at 2 pm and 8 pm; show runs Dec. 12-15 at the INB Performing Arts Center. (CS)
