 ABOUT OLIVER SAMUEL   

Samuels found fame on the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation's television series Oliver At Large, which was created by producer Calvin Butler and playwright Aston Cooke. In this series, Oliver played his alter ego Olivius Adams, aka Oliver. The series featured sketches from Oliver's exploits, often with his sidekick, Maffi. Several spin-off theatre pieces have been created for the Oliver character including Large Abroad, Oliver's Posse (1999), Oliver and Pinocchio (2001), and Oliver and the Genie (2002).

The Holiday Bazaar will take place on Saturday, December 10, 2011 and is an opportunity to highlight all of the amazing talent at Duke Ellington to our Community, prospective students, and potential donors while providing a fund-raising opportunity for all departments. This should be a huge PR and recruiting initiative for Ellington.

The Bazaar will consist of 2 levels of arts and gift vendors and 1 level of food vendors. Exhibitor space is $100 for merchants and $200 for food vendors. Each Arts Department is invited to purchase a table and encouraged to provide roaming performance or arts display throughout the day to showcase their talent. (100% of all vendor sales go to the vendor.)

Our goal is to secure at a minimum 50 vendors and host no less than 1500 visitors throughout the day.

This year’s Bazaar hosts fine art and artists ♦ silver & gold jewelry ♦ unique home decor ♦ natural bath and body products ♦ local food vendors ♦ books and authors – and so much more!

There will be  raffles

Presented annually for 25 years, The Living Christmas Tree is a spectacle of sight and sound! The performances feature unforgettable music and drama complemented by a pre-show outdoor live nativity. It has been described as "top-quality, affordable family entertainment at its finest."

The tree itself is a 30-foot-tall steel structure that holds an 80-person choir who stand on wooden platforms bolted to the framework. It weighs over 2 tons, is held together by more than 800 steel bolts, and is all decked out for Christmas with greenery and thousands of lights programmed to complement the music.

The star at the top of the tree is 4 feet tall and reaches to the ceiling of the auditorium.

After the tree is built, there's still more for our crew of volunteers to do, from staging and lighting for the drama to setting up for hot chocolate and cookies at our outdoor nativity.

Beyond all the fun facts and hard work, the Living Christmas Tree is much more than an engineering marvel or a musical
