Do It Today: A Truman Capote Christmas in St. Pete or Bedazzled at DFAC
Posted by Franki Weddington on Mon, Nov 23, 2009 at 7:46 AM
Nothing says holiday cheer like spending time with the author of In Cold Blood (about the brutal murder of an entire family) and Breakfast At Tiffany’s (about a high-class hooker). But sometimes, Christmas traditions are re-imagined — like in A Truman Capote Christmas, which opens tonight at American Stage. This autobiographical story details the author’s childhood, in which he is sent from his comfortable, familiar home to live with the father he has never met. Along the way, Capote discovers the truth about his past, his father and Santa Claus. Not From Texas acoustic band accompanies the show. (Pictured: the author with his father) Nov. 23-30, 7:30 p.m. Sun.-Mon., 8 p.m. Weds. and Fri.-Sat., American Stage, 163 Third St. N., St. Petersburg, “pay what you can” admission, americanstage.org. – Franki Weddington
DFAC’s curators did the art-inclined among us a favor and curated Bedazzled, an outstanding representation works by local and national artists — and all of which could end up under your tree for Christmas. Normally when you’re at a museum, the velvet rope (and, hopefully, tact) prevent us from coming too close to the artwork. Not anymore. If you see something you like, take your favorite mini-masterpiece off the wall and up to the cashier. The same goes for the assortment of unique and interesting ornaments that adorn DFAC’s dozen decorated trees, along with an array of hard-to-find gifties for everyone from Mom to Uncle Albert and the mailman. Last-minute shoppers can breathe a sigh of relief; the exhibit continues through Dec. 23. Dunedin Fine Arts Center, Dunedin, dfac.org.
