LINDA EDER
Monday-Tuesday: During her annual Christmas visit to Minnesota, Eder -- who made the leap from Brainerd High School to Broadway with several steps in between, including winning on "Star Search" -- will return to her roots. She's working with a group of local high school singers, who will have two chances to showcase their voices. At 12:15 p.m. Monday, the singers, coached by Eder, will perform a medley of tunes from "Jersey Boys" at the IDS Center Crystal Court. Then 30 singers will back Eder on "Silent Night," "O Holy Night" and other selections at her annual "Home for the Holidays" concert at the Pantages. The high school students are part of the SpotLight program sponsored by the Hennepin Theatre Trust. (7:30 p.m. Tue. $53-$63. Pantages Theatre, 710 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. 1-800-745-3000.)
