METALINE FALLS — The Cutter Theatre is celebrating the coming of autumn with a series of events this October, November and December.
Returning to the Cutter is Elvis impersonator Ben Klein, whose performance is a popular event there. He is performing again at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24, following a meatloaf dinner at 6 p.m. The performance and dinner each cost $20, with reservations required for the latter by Friday, Oct.
17. Showgoers may not want to miss one of Klein’s shows, which are high energy. To make the evening even more fun, the Cutter invites showgoers to dress in costume.
Fall Festival will return to the Cutter from 1 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31.
The no-cost, family-friendly event features games, a child-friendly movie, food and a costume contest for both children and adults. The movie starts at 1 p.m., followed by carnival games, with the costume contest at 2 p.m. The games and contest will have prizes.
Artscape is back in session this year, incorporating more snacks, treats and brooms — there will be lots of glitter. New additions to the Artscape program include Muus Li von Walter, Natalie Krabbenhoft and Selkirk High School senior Malinda. As before, Artscape costs $8 and serves students ages 8 and up. The Cutter is soon to release the October schedule.
Saturday, Nov. 1 is a unique basket- making class for ages 14 and up for $10. Class hours are from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., taught by Olivia Giannasi, who has led many basket-making classes at Create Arts Center in Newport. Participants are encouraged to reserve their spots, bring needle nose pliers and a sack lunch.
Sunday, Nov. 16 will be Turkey “Bingo in the Basement.”
Friday, Dec. 5 to Sunday, Dec. 7 is the annual Deck the Falls Weekend, with the red neck parade in downtown Metaline Falls that Friday, craft fair at the Cutter that Saturday and Christmas Concert, also at the Cutter, that Sunday. A recital taught by the Cutter’s ballet teacher Sydney DeGeest will be part of the Christmas Concert.
Outside of events, the Cutter is displaying 47 photos of the history of Metaline Falls and Metaline on the walls of its upper-level Skylight Room. The photos include descriptions of what each one portrays.
