SHOPPING

BUY A MEMORY

If there's a rock 'n' roll heaven, it might be the Not Just Rock Expo, celebrating its 25th anniversary here. Timed to maximize holiday shopping for those on your list who revel in pop culture memorabilia, the expo offerings range from rare records to T-shirts, books, photos, posters and more. Bring items from your collection for appraisal by PBS "Antiques Roadshow" regular Gary Sohmers. Celeb guests include Vince Martell of Vanilla Fudge and Delaware Valley-born album illustrator Cal Schenkel.

ONE OF A KIND

For shoppers who like the more personal touch, the Handmade in Philadelphia sale is a collection of gifts made by local artists. While the focus is on pottery, other media will be represented from Lorri Primavera's jewelry to Anna Roantree's intricate weaving.

TELEVISION

A JERSEY 'HALLMARK'

Oscar winner Martin Landau appears to be having a great time with the role of the late South Jersey rabbi Albert Lewis in the latest Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation, Have a Little Faith. Whether viewers will have an equally good time depends on just how fond they are of Mitch Albom's brand of sentiment. Based on the best-seller, Albom's first non-fiction book since Tuesdays with Morrie, it stars "The West Wing's" Bradley Whitford as Albom, who spent part of his childhood in Haddon Township. It pairs the story of his relationship with a towering figure from his childhood with the story of Detroit criminal-turned-preacher named Henry Covington (Laurence Fishburne).

"Have a Little Faith," 9 p.m. Sunday, 6ABC.

THEATER

SAY AMEN

Young troupe . . . AND Company Theatre presents its sophomore production, "Son of a Preacher Man" by Vascola Stoney, a straight play featuring a healthy helping of music. The show explores themes of judgment, expectation, homosexuality and infidelity within a church community and as they are played out between a father and son. Andre Brown, . . . AND's founder, artistic director and star of the show, draws from his experience as the son of a preacher.

Christ Church Neighborhood House Theatre, 20 N. American St., today through Dec. 4, $10-20, 609-891-7555, andcompanytheatre.org.

FOUR SCORE

"What I am doing here?" is the question that follows the characters of the intimate musical "Ordinary Days," which follows four New Yorkers - a newly cohabitating couple, a distraught grad student and a wayward artist. 11th Hour Theatre Company brings the show to Philly for the first time, with three company regulars - founders Michael Philip O'Brien and Steve Pacek, plus Alex Keiper - and Barrymore award-winner Whitney Bashor.

NEWS FLASH

Philly has a quite a few winter traditions that we can count on: the Mummers, the Wanamaker organ holiday concerts, the fact that some bankrupt sportscaster will talk about how we threw snowballs at Santa. Let's add 1812 Productions' "This is the Week that Is," now in its sixth year. Their annual song-and-dance showcase takes cues from current events to round up the year. Come for the topical comedy, but stay for Patsy, the South Philly philosopher who spreads the gospel from 7th and Shunk.

Plays & Players Theatre, 1714 Delancey St., today through Dec. 31, $20-36, 215-592-9560, 1812productions.org.

FILM

DIRTY WORK AFOOT

"Monty Python and the Holy Grail" only gets better with age and multiple viewings. This weekend's screening brings an opportunity to show the film to newbies, because angels playing trumpets with their butts is much funnier writ large.
