Kris Kristofferson’s story is fairly well-known – he had a dream, along with the necessary talent and ambition, to become a songwriter. It wasn’t long after arriving in Nashville in the early 1960s that he was receiving armloads of acclaim and being hailed as one of America’s clearest and most important voices, having penned such classics as “Me and Bobby McGee”, “Sunday Morning Coming Down”, “For the Good Times”, and many others. Now Kristofferson has reached living legend status, but that hasn’t changed or hindered his skills. His new music, like his classics, explores topics that resonate with us all – love, gratitude, aging, war, and his ever-present theme of freedom – with all the passion, depth and artistry that make Kris Kristofferson’s music distinctive, vivid, deeply emotional, beautiful…and unforgettable. <a href=http://www.hammonshall.com/Shows.aspx?id=103>Buy Tickets</a>

Springfield Regional Arts Council is pleased to announce Jennifer Moore as the next speaker for the Creamery Writers’ Workshop on February 11 at 7 p.m. at The Creamery Arts Center. Her presentation is entitled “Writing from an Overseas Hot Spot.” Moore grew up in West Plains, Missouri and decided in high school that she wanted to become a journalist. She studied journalism at University of MO School of Journalism where she received her degree in 2001. Moore then spent two semesters in Cairo, Egypt where she studied Middle Eastern history and Arabic. After graduation she moved abroad to the Persian Gulf where she worked as a freelance journalist reporting for National Public Radio and field producing for CNN’s program Inside the Middle East. She reported on issues ranging from the loss of the traditional Bedouin culture to media censorship in the Gulf and the plight of Iraqi refugees who fled their country after the war began. After five years in the Persian Gulf, Moore returned to Missouri where she is now the senior news producer at the local NPR station, KSMU. The Creamery Writers' Workshop is an outreach program of the Springfield Regional Arts Council and is free and open to all writers, regardless of age or genre. No registration is required. The group meets the 2nd and 4th Thursday each month from 7 to 8:30p.m. at The Creamery Arts Center across from Hammons Field.

GONE WITH THE WIND Friday Feb. 12 & Saturday Feb. 13 @ 7 PM Sunday Feb. 14 Valentine's Matinee @ 2 PM Tickets $5.00 available at the box office or through our website Doors open one hour prior to show See this historic film like you've never seen it before! Gone with the Wind is a 1939 American film adapted from Margaret Mitchell's 1936 novel of the same name. It was produced by David O. Selznick and directed by Victor Fleming from a screenplay by Sidney Howard. The epic film, set in the American South in and around the time of the American Civil War, stars Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard, and Olivia de Havilland. It tells a story of the Civil War and its aftermath from a white Southern viewpoint. It received ten Academy Awards (8 competitive, 2 honorary), a record that stood for twenty years. In the American Film Institute's inaugural Top 100 American Films of All Time list of 1998, it was ranked number four; although in the 2007 10th Anniversary edition of that list, it was dropped two places, to number six. In June 2008, AFI revealed its 10 top 10-the best ten films in ten American film genres-after polling over 1,500 persons from the creative community. Gone with the Wind was acknowledged as the fourth best film in the Epic genre. It has sold more tickets in the U.S. than any other film in history, and is considered a prototype of a Hollywood blockbuster. Today, it is considered one of the greatest and most popular films of all time and one of the most enduring symbols of the golden age of Hollywood. When adjusted for inflation, Gone with the Wind remains the highest grossing film, both internationally and domestically, of all time. Doors will open one hour prior to the show. Tickets are only $5.00 and are available at the Gillioz box office, by calling the Gillioz box office phone number, and through the Gillioz website. Don't miss the opportunity to see this amazing film on the largest movie screen in town, in our beautiful theatre!
