Home Alone is a beloved Christmas comedy that follows eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, who is accidentally left behind when his massive family rushes off for a holiday vacation to Paris. Initially thrilled to have the entire house to himself, Kevin quickly learns to fend for himself when two clumsy burglars, Harry and Marv (the "Wet Bandits"), target his seemingly vacant home on Christmas Eve. Kevin transforms the house into a booby-trapped fortress, defending his turf with increasingly elaborate and hilarious schemes until his frantic mother can finally race back to be reunited with him.

A Christmas Story follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s and his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee's Department Store. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out!" All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family's temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys' experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie's father winning a lamp shaped like a woman's leg in a net stocking; Ralphie's fantasy scenarios and more. A Christmas Story is destined to become a theatrical holiday perennial.

What is an Old Time Radio Show?

Before TV took over, radio was one of the world’s main sources of entertainment. Apart from news, commercials, and music, it also broadcasts shows: dramas, mysteries, comedies, and more. Families in the 1920s through to the 1960s gathered around to listen to what we now call old-time radio shows. Stories were brought to life live on the radio with voice actors and foley artists.

NOTE: Attendees must be 5+ years old to attend
The curtain speech will begin at 7:20 with no late seating after 7:30

Listen to it on KPQ live on December 16 & rebroadcast on December 24

Presentation: Sensory-based Wildlife Conservation

Description: Understanding an animals’ sensory world can help us to know how and what might be a threat. We can also use the communication that animals make to better study species that may be difficult to study otherwise. We will dive into a few examples of how sensory ecology and conservation biology work together to protect species and habitat.

Presenter:
Megan Friesen has studied sensory systems in wildlife, especially in seabirds, for the past 15 years. She completed her PhD studying the sensory ecology and conservation of tube-nosed seabirds at the University of Auckland and her master’s at UC Davis. Megan joined the biology faculty at Wenatchee Valley College in 2024 and is keen to continue involving students in aspects of sensory conservation.
