Cheer for the Pigs, celebrate Your Irish and More

Family activities are starting to pick up in anticipation of spring. Get out and enjoy them.

WHEN/WHERE: 7 to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, March 18, 19, 25 and 26; and 2 p.m. Sundays, March 20 and 27; 813 Asbury Ave.

WHY GO: Kids will be in stitches over this funny musical based on the classic Three Little Pigs. This version has a twist–when little Frank Trotter and his big, greedy brothers are caught stealing the harvest feast, they are banished from the farmyard and sent out into the big, wide world. Unfortunately for them, BB Wolf is released from prison about the same time. Apparently, he is cured of his granny-eating ways, but is on the prowl for some sausage. Hope those pigs can run fast!

HOW MUCH: $5
