“Whether the Weather” from Pollyanna Theatre Company.
We’re probably going to see our first 100-degree day Saturday (if not before). This is a perfect weekend to find the cool of the museum, movie theater and library. If you do head outdoors, bring plenty of drinking water and wear your sunscreen, hats and shades.
