"Pompadour" at Ashland Contemporary Theater[/caption]
“Pompadour” plays three weekends starting January 19th, produced by Ashland Contemporary Theater, at the Ashland Community Center, 59 Winburn Way.
Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 2pm, from Jan. 19 thru Feb. 3.
Tickets: Regular admission: $15 Senior/student, $12.
Tickets can be bought at Paddington Station in Ashland, and Grocery Outlet in Medford, as well as online on the ACT website, by credit card thru Paypal.
Ashland Contemporary Theater presents the play as though you were a guest at the tiny private theater in Versailles -- which means seating is limited. ADVANCE PURCHASE is recommended.
Voltaire called Mme Pompadour a "soul born sincere," "with good sense," and "justice in her heart."
Tinsley's play begins at the end, when Pompadour has had a potentially fatal confrontation with the King's latest young lover. As she clings to life in her chambers at Versailles, she begins to make sense of her own. (more...)Nordic Ski Weekend at Mt. Shasta

Mt. Shasta Nordic Ski Weekend
Southern Oregon Nordic Ski Club is hosting its "annual" ski weekend at Mt. Shasta. Save the weekend of January 11-13, 2013. Edgar & Karen are planning the somewhat annual Mt. Shasta Nordic Ski Weekend with details to come. The traditional Mt. Shasta weekend can be a full 3-day outing or a one-day event. Your choice, with the big "wine and cheese" after ski gathering and dinner on Saturday January 12th. While past Mt. Shasta events have been postponed or canceled because of too much snow, or too little snow, we are planning, or at least wishing, for a Mama Bear amount of snow this season. Check with Edgar & Karen Hee 541 734-4872, for information and details.Chris Botti, Jazz Trumpet at Craterian

One of my new favorites: Tot Restaurant!
At 310 Oak St. (walking distance from the Chanticleer Inn) check out their menu and the website: www.totrestaurant.com Opened June '12, one of the newest places in town. I've been there twice, each time it was a delight. Wonderful food and great service. They call themselves "Southeast Asian BBQ", but it's more that BBQ. Soups, rice bowls and sandwiches are available -- all very well prepared with great mix of flavors! Worth going back and back, and back. For more restaurant selections go to Ellen's favorite eatery list.Southern Oregon Nordic Skiing Club Meeting
