The holiday season is here, and on the first weekend there couldn’t be a more festive way to get it started than with a community rendition of “The Nutcracker.”
The Georgia Metropolitan Dance Theatre is staging the event Thursday through Sunday at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre at the Cobb Civic Center (548 S. Marietta Parkway). The show times are as follows:
- Friday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m.
- Saturday, Nov. 24 at 2 and 7:30 p.m.
- Sunday, Nov. 25th at 2 p.m.
As we noted earlier, more than 150 local dancers have been selected and have been getting ready the Georgia Dance Conservatory on the Marietta Square. Tickets are $10 to $30. For information visit: www.georgiametrodance.tix.com.
On Saturday, Small Business Saturday is being observed around the country, including in East Cobb, and it’s a good way to keep your holiday shopping dollars local, which in turn helps strengthen the community. Some businesses are extending their sales throughout the weekend and beyond.
School’s been out this week, but if your child needs some extra tutoring as the Thanksgiving weekend break comes to an end, stop by the East Cobb Library (4880 Lower Roswell Road) on Saturday between 2:30-4:30 p.m. for free 30-minute tutoring lessons.
The library is partnering with mentors from Walton, Wheeler and The Westminster Schools for students K-8 in math, science and reading. While registration is required, there may be walk-up space available by calling 770-509-2730.
Holiday arts and festivals will resume next week, but the Good Mews Holiday Decor Market continues at the Sandy Plains Exchange Shopping Center (1860 Sandy Plains Road) from 10-5 Saturday and 12-5 Sunday.
