The Nasher Salon evening featuring singer-actress Kristin Chenoweth has been pushed back from November 15 to December 8. Ironically, the date change happened because of  the Emmy-winner’s shooting schedule on the ABC TV series, GCB, which was originally titled “Good Christian Bitches,” based on the Kim Gatlin novel set — where else? — in Dallas.

Current ticketholders for the sold-out November 15 date will have first crack at transferring tickets to December 8. If there are any remaining, un-transferred tickets November 10, they will be up for sale to the public.
