HI-HAT HATTIE - Celebrating the legacy of Hattie McDaniel!

February 25th at 7pm at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen

Tickets $25 at www.artsglenallen.com or 804-261-ARTS

Ticket Link: https://cacga.na.ticketsearch.com/sales/salesevent/18592

A solo musical tour-de-force starring RTCC Best Actress winner Dorothy “Dee D.” Miller, Hi-Hat Hattie takes place backstage of an old theater where Hattie McDaniel recalls the incredible events of her storied show business life. An important figure in America’s entertainment and race relations, McDaniel broke down Hollywood barriers, including being the first African American woman to sing on radio and the first African American actor to win an Academy Award for her role as Mammy in “Gone with the Wind.” 

Daughter of former slaves, McDaniel battled segregation and racism growing up in the Jim Crow-era. However, she was routinely criticized by many, including the NAACP, for playing subservient roles and blacklisted by studios. The controversy surrounding her career is an important reminder that these issues are never simple. Featuring jazz and blues classics like “St. Louis Blues,” “Danny Boy,” “Can’t Help Lovin Dat Man,” “Amazing Grace” and more!​​​​​​​

Have you ever wanted to make you own cheese? Now you can! See the entire process from start to finish using readily-available grocery-store ingredients. Witness one of the oldest dairy processes in the world while sampling different flavor combinations.

Get ready for your first Spring read! Megan and Hayden are going to be chatting quirky fiction and salvation in the store!

About the Book:

Tombstone, Texas, has never seen anything like the barefoot travelers who barrel in one afternoon, looking like they just stepped out of the seventies. They appear right in the middle of Pinky Elizabeth Swear’s eulogy for her beloved rescue cat, Sweet Potato Grace (may she rest in eternal peace and abundance of goat cheese). To be honest, Pinky is relieved at the interruption. She’d planned to use the second half of her eulogy to come out of the closet. Now, she doesn’t have to.

Are the newcomers a circus troupe? Revolutionaries? A sinister cult? While the town grows suspicious and rumor mills churn, Pinky finds herself drawn to the charisma of the barefoot strangers. Perhaps, she starts to think, the wrath of Tombstone is a thing worth risking in order to be true to oneself.

From music and movies to love and friendship, Gilmore Girls taught us all so much throughout the years.

In Meet Me at Luke’s, you can expect to find a treasure trove of insights, anecdotes, and life lessons drawn from the show's rich tapestry of relationships, small-town charm, and the enduring bond between a mother and daughter. As Eckart traverses the characters' lives and loves, she also explores how their world can enrich our own.

Meet Me at Luke’s not only provides a chance to relive your favorite moments but also invites you to delve deeper into the show's enduring appeal. It offers a space for reflection, sparking conversations about how the lessons learned in Stars Hollow can be applied to our own lives. Using events from all seven seasons, Eckart will delve into discovering our purpose, creating a home, finding love, and so much more.

Historical mystery lovers, this is for you! Rob will be chatting with Fountain Friend John Copenhaver in the store about his latest mystery.

About the Book:

Chicago, 1898. In the midst of the Progressive Era, twenty-one-year-old junior detective Harriet Morrow is determined to prove she’s more than a lucky hire as the Prescott Agency’s first woman operative. But her latest challenge—a murder case steeped in scandal—could become a deadly setback . . .

     As the Windy City thaws from a harsh winter, Harriet Morrow finds herself doubting her investigative skills when she’s assigned to solve a high-stakes murder case well above her pay grade. And there’s also a catch. Harriet must somehow blend in as an “unremarkable” young woman—one who feels confident in skirts, not men’s clothing—on a quest to infiltrate the immigrant community at the center of the grisly crime . . .

     The mystery has more twists and turns than her morning bike commute, with a muckraker found murdered in a southside tenement building after obtaining evidence of a powerful politician’s corruption. While Harriet gains the trust of the tenement’s women residents to gather clues, the undercover mission reveals an innocent mother might have been framed for the crime—and exposes ties to another violent death . . .    

     Harriet soon realizes she has few allies as new dangers explode around her. Enlisting the help of Matthew McCabe, her only true confidante at the agency, and growing more protective of her budding relationship with the lovely Barbara Wozniak, Harriet will need to survive rising threats to assert her place in a world that’s quick to dismiss her—and out a killer who’s always one step ahead . . .
