Event Information (passed)
A scene from “The Shoemaker and the Christmas Elves,” performed by Virginia Rep on Tour.
UC Clermont College’s Calico Children’s Theatre will feature “The Shoemaker and the Christmas Elves”, performed by Virginia Rep on Tour, 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 13.
The show takes a yuletide spin on a classic Brothers’ Grimm fairy tale. Children will delight in the magical story of a poor shoemaker and the magical elves who show him the true meaning of Christmas. While Santa sends toy-making elves to the shoemaker shop, and the shoemaker finds dolls in his shop, all is right in this heartwarming holiday musical. The show is recommended for grades K-6.
All performances are held in the Krueger Auditorium on the UC Clermont College campus at 4200 Clermont College Dr., Batavia, Ohio, and are approximately one hour long.

February 16, 2026
The Niehoff Center for Film and Media Studies at the University of Cincinnati invites the campus and community to delve into the thought-provoking “2026 UC European Film Series: Perspectives on Our World.” Five recent films will be screened, with introductions and discussions led by UC faculty. Using a variety of genres and forms, these films encourage audiences to think about their place on the planet, in relation to civic engagement, to the natural world, to others, and even to space aliens in Moravia. “The series is a mix of realism, reality, comedy, and escapism that we hope will make you see things differently,” said Michael Gott, Neihoff Center director of programming and College of Arts and Sciences professor. “Film can make us rethink our ideas about the world and see things from different perspectives.” Past topics have ranged from artificial intelligence to migration, urban spaces, and women in film. Following each screening, discussions with filmmakers and UC faculty aim to spark meaningful conversations.
