What's new this week: February 4th edition

This weekend has a lot to offer for the art, theater and sports buff alike.  Of course we all know that the Super Bowl is tomorrow and I’m sure you’re already cooking to prepare for a night of heaving drinking, yelling and eating things that will make you hate yourself in the morning but there’s so much more to enjoy.

If you haven’t made a trip out to the Gables Stage or the Actor’s Playhouse, there’s still time to see a couple of the plays you missed last week.  If that doesn’t tickle your taste buds there are 3 new movies out this weekend and all of them are approved for some part of the whole family whether they be teenagers or toddlers. So let’s jump into what’s new this weekend!
