Benicia High School

BHS is kicking off a great season of theater with the Off-Broadway hit, “PUFFS,”, a hilarious parody of the Harry Potter world, seen through the eyes of the least appreciated House.&nbsp;
Tonight's performance will feature an alternate cast for "Puffs- Unsung Heroes Night". So, if you've already seen the show... come again! The show involves improv as part of the performance so it changes every night! 
The New York Times proclaims Puffs “A fast-paced romp through the ‘Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic’.” For Potterphiliacs who grew up alongside Potter and are eager to revisit that world, Puffs exudes a jovial, winking fondness for all things Harry!” 
“Puffs” runs on Dec. 12, 13, 18*, 19, and 20 at 7 pm and on Dec. 14 at 2 pm at the Benicia High School Hayley Horn Theater. Tickets are $17 adults/ $10 students in advance at www.TABBS.org and $19 adults / $12 students at the door. The show is recommended for ages 13 and up. 
*Dec. 18 will feature an alternate cast performance for “PUFFS: Unsung Heroes Night.

St Peter's Chapel

Geared for children aged 6 - 10 and their adult companions, the world of stained glass will come alive in this fun, interactive workshop at St. Peter’s Chapel on Mare Island. The session will start with a look at the Chapel’s luminous stained glass windows, which include 25 by Tiffany Studios, as the children learn how they were made and what stories they tell.
Next, everyone will make their own tissue paper stained glass window from templates that celebrate many Holiday traditions, including Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. 
This community holiday event is offered free of charge! It is co-sponsored with Alibi Bookshop of downtown Vallejo, who will have a fun selection of holiday books available to purchase. 
The class is free and limited to 12 children per session – so reserve your space today! Children must be accompanied by an adult.
There are 2 sessions for this workshop: 10-11:30am and 2 - 3:30pm.
The session is free, but reservations are required. Please reserve space at: <a href="https://square.link/u/wCWqhrQh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://square.link/u/wCWqhrQh</a>
