Pepita's Poinsettia: Acrylic Painting |
According to Mexican legend, a poor young girl named Pepita brought a bouquet of weeds to gift the baby Jesus. As she knelt by His manger the weeds suddenly burst into bright red flowers, thereafter known as “Flores de Noche Buena,“ or Flowers of the Holy Night. We know them as the poinsettia and will be using acrylic paints to create our own 11 x 14 masterpiece. Join us as we learn about the relationship of complementary colors in this fun and educational painting class.

9 to 5, THE MUSICAL is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www. MTIShows.com
9 to 5 The Musical, with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton and book by Patricia Resnick, is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s. this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking and even a little romantic.
Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy, and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy – giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?
