Cy-Fair calendar of events
Antique Clock Exhibit on display at Barbara Bush Branch Library
Robert (Bob) Kleeman’s antique clock collection will be on display at the Barbara Bush Branch Library
during the month of January.
Kleeman always had an interest in making and repairing things. In preparation
for retirement, he moved on to making clocks. He bought a few beginner clock
repair handbooks, joined a local clock club and started expanding his skills.
Bob has been repairing clocks for almost 20 years and still gets great
satisfaction from restoring a timepiece to its original working condition. He
has repaired all types and all ages of clocks, the oldest ones being from the
mid 1800s. He found those clocks amazingly well designed and manufactured.
kold radio, whitefish bay
Theatre Suburbia’s production of Kold Radio, Whitefish Bay will run Jan. 8-Feb. 6.
This is the Houston premiere of this romantic comedy by Phil Olson. Lars is the
host of a radio show called
Crappie Talk, devoted entirely to the narrow subject of ice fishing. Martha hosts Book Beat and has all the listeners and advertisers. When Lars loses his only advertiser
and his fish out-of-water Brooklyn Italian boss fires him, he has his work cut
out for him. He needs his job and his dignity, but more importantly, he needs
Martha.
Showtimes are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m; and Sundays (Jan. 24 and Jan.
31) at 3 p.m. Tickets are $14, adults; $13, students and seniors; and $12,
