November 10-16

Welcome to our "What's Happening" email, designed to provide you with a glance at opportunities for an unbridled good time in the Bowling Green area.

Broadway comes to SKyPAC this week! The three-time Tony award-winning musical "Anything Goes" will be performed on Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7:30 p.m.! Peppering this Cole Porter first-class comedy are some of musical theater's most memorable standards, including "I Get a Kick out of You," "You're the Top," and of course, "Anything Goes."

This Broadway show was the winner of the 2011 Best Musical Revival Tony Award and received another award for its outstanding choreography. For more information about "Anything Goes," and ticket sales, please call 270-904-1880 or visit the website below.

This weekend is full of Victorian events at Riverview at Hobson Grove. Kicking off the weekend is the Victorian Skills for Young Ladies and Gentlemen Felt Christmas Ornament workshop. Create a traditional Victorian Christmas ornament just in time for the holiday season. The workshop begins at 10 a.m. and reservations are requested.

The Victorian weekend continues on Sunday with the Christmas Customs lecture at 2 p.m. Nancy Baird, past Kentucky History Specialist of the Kentucky Library at WKU, will speak about the origin of the Christmas tree, Christmas cards and other common customs that we celebrate today. The lecture is free and open to the public, but reservations are requested as space is limited. For more information on these events, please call 270-843-5565 or visit the website below.
