Looking for something to do, EG Patch has some ideas for you.

It’s Thursday, and you’ve got no idea what you’ll do for the weekend. Patch is coming to the rescue with the best bets for how to spend your free time. Check out our picks for the local activities to hit and places to explore.

1. AT ROCKY HILL

The “tale as old as time” will be brought to you courtesy of 30 students and some faculty from Rocky Hill’s Middle and Upper Schools this weekend.

For those of you unfamiliar with the plot, or in need of a refresher course, the family-oriented musical centers around the free-spirited and untraditional Belle, whose father is imprisoned by the Beast, who is really an enchanted prince. She offers herself instead, and finds the prince inside the Beast and true love.

The play is under the direction of Jean-Paul (JP) Ferragamo, who is in his first year at Rocky Hill School and the founder of Manhattan Music Man Productions.
