Mrs. Doubtfire
Your favorite "Scottish" "nanny" is here in Cleveland, now until the end of January at the Playhouse Square's Connor Palace. Based on the beloved story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything to see his kids, including pretending to be a nanny, the comical musical Mrs. Doubtfire is sure to be laugh-out-loud funny. Get info and tickets here.
The Rink at Wade Oval
Now until Sunday, Feb. 25, go ice skating on fresh ice at The Rink at Wade Oval. Don't know how to ice skate? No problem! Free lessons will take place every Saturday at noon. The best part is you don't have to register. You can just show up. Find more info here.
