Thanksgiving is only how many days away? Are some of your friends on Facebook already bragging that they have all of their Christmas shopping done? Take a deep breath, make a list, then put it aside and get out of the house and enjoy some of the cool events going on this weekend.

 

Friday, November 14 & Saturday, November 15: 8:00 pm. County Players continues its 57th season with The Marvelous Wonderettes! This smash off-Broadway hit takes you to the 1958 Springfield High School prom where we meet the Wonderettes, four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts! As we learn about their lives and loves, we are treated to the girls performing such classic ’50s and ’60s songs as “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “Stupid Cupid,” “Lipstick on Your Collar,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” “It’s My Party,” and over 20 other classic hits! You’ve never had this much fun at a prom and you will never forget The Marvelous Wonderettes—a must-take musical trip down memory lane! The cast includes Cory Ann Fasano-Paff, Lizzy Neiman, Amy Schaffer, and Alyssa Thomas, directed by Anna Marie Paolercio.  Call 845-298-1491 for reservations or click here to order tickets.
