When you were a kid, did you ever suspect that some of the seemingly pointless busy work you were forced to do actually had some ulterior purpose? Those assignments that you just knew the teacher wasn't grading: What did she really do with those word searches? Were there secret messages from her alien overlords in the unused letters? Or was she building some primitive shrine to the Dark Lord Lucifer, composed entirely of the Popsicle-stick crafts of her unwitting students? Arlington's Creative Arts Theatre & School will explore the true motives of one adult who punishes kids with seemingly arbitrary labor when it produces Holes, based on the children's book by Louis Sachar. Stanley is unfairly punished at a very odd correctional camp in the Texas desert, where the warden has the kids digging holes in a dry lakebed. Turns out the holes aren't just pointless labor: The warden is searching for something. Admission is $6, with $5 lap passes for kids up to age 3. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Fridays, 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturdays and 2:30 p.m. Sundays through February 3 at Creative Arts Theatre & School, 1100 W. Randol Mill Road in Arlington. Call 817-861-2287 or visit creativearts.org for tickets and more information.
Fridays, Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 2:30 p.m. Starts: Jan. 25. Continues through Feb. 3, 2008
