| June 7, 2008 -- 7:30 pm CST - THE SONGS THE ANDREWS SISTERS SANG AS NOW SUNG BY TERRY ALVRADO, KAREN SCHRADER AND DEBBIE WEEKS |
 |
Mostly remembered for their music, rich in sweetness and optimism, the Andrews Sisters were loved by the many troops they tirelessly entertained during World War II. During their career, the amazing trio recorded more than 1,800 songs and sold over 90 million records. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Andrews Sisters began their music careers when they were still in their teens. In 1932, they began singing accompanied by the Larry Rich Orchestra. Together, they toured the Midwest and performed in vaudevilles. Another group of sisters, the Boswell Sisters, of New Orleans, influenced the Andrews Sisters' Dixieland style. Soon, the Andrews trio broadened their style to include ballads of the swing era, South American dance songs, boogie woogie and other novelty sounds. Karen, Terry and Debbie will bring these memorable moments back in a great evening at the Gem |

| July 12, 2008 -- The Gypsy Theatre Company Production of RAVENSCROFT |
|
The New York City based Gypsy Theatre Company will present a Matinee Performance of RAVENSCROFT at 3:00PM. in the Gem Theatre in Claude, Texas.
This psychological drama is a thinking person's Gothic thriller, a dark comedy that is both funny and frightening. On a snowy night, Inspector Ruffing is called to a remote house to investigate the headlong plunge of Patrick Roarke down the main staircase. He becomes involved in the lives of five alluring and dangerous women. They lead him through a bewildering labyrinth of contradictory version of Patrick's demise and that of the late Mr. Ravenscroft. There are ghosts on the staircase, skeletons in the closet, and much more than the Inspector bargained for. You will not guess the ending but you will be teased, bewildered, amused, frightened and led to a dark encounter with truth or something even stranger.
Admission: Adults $10.00 and Children $3.00. Come to Claude early for the Free barbecue and other festivities that are a part of the CAPROCK ROUNDUP AND OLD SETTLERS REUNION |
