“E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial,” the Olympic Games, “Home Alone,” the “Harry Potter” series, and the “Star Wars” saga.
At face value, these titles seemingly have absolutely nothing to do with each other. However, if you’re a music nerd like myself, you know all of these titles have musical contributions from the one and only John Williams.
The holiday season is rapidly approaching, and for many families, that includes taking in a special show or two, which the American Theatre Guild will soon be providing.
Cirque Dreams Holidaze will be performing at Century II in Wichita Tuesday, Nov. 26 and Wednesday, Nov. 27, and both performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Cirque Dreams Holidaze Artistic Director Rebecca Shubart said the cast and crew are excited to take the show to Wichita.

Today is officially Halloween, the spookiest day of the calendar year, and throughout the month, I’ve been getting myself in the spooky mood with various movies and specials.
If you happen to be staying in tonight, or if you’re looking for something to watch after getting home from trick-or-treating, here are some spooktacular suggestions for you:
The Halloween season is truly well upon everyone, and in the spirit of that, I’ve been taking in all the spooky/creepy/mystery media I can to get in the proper mood. As you’ve read in past Octobers, I have some tried and true Halloween favorites, but this year seems to have more spooky/creepy/mystery releases to enjoy, including a new Netflix release, “Woman of the Hour.”
The film follows the true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala and his 1978 appearance on the television show “The Dating Game” in the midst of his murder spree. The film stars Anna Kendrick as “The Dating Game” contestant Cheryl Bradshaw and Daniel Zovatto as Alcala. From what I’ve read, at the time of his TV appearance, Alcala had murdered at least five women, and his appearance on the episode later earned him the nickname "The Dating Game Killer."
