MSU Director Jeanine Cull will reenact one family's turmoil after losing their only child and son in the crash, in the MSU Department of Theatre's next production, "The Women of Lockerbie."

"Surviving Christmas" kicks off with all the traditional holiday clichés of sleighbells jingling, city streets bustling and Christmas trees twinkling in the park. "It's the most wonderful time of the year," we're told.
