The holidays are officially coming to a close, and as that happens, so too is TheatreSquared’s run on their classic show, It’s a Wonderful Life. There are still a few chances to catch the show this weekend, though. Here’s the schedule.
Every time local legends The Cate Brothers get together these days, it is an event not to be missed. The band are back on the main stage at George’s for a happy hour show on Friday night. The show starts at 6 p.m.
