‘The Little Mermaid’ Sing-Along Experience
Several generations have fallen in love with the brightly colored world of the 1989 Disney animated film “The Little Mermaid.” A big part of the movie’s legacy is its music, so why not enjoy singing along to “Kiss the Girl,” “Under the Sea” and more with a group of friends? The Lamp Theatre’s sing-along experience is the perfect chance.
Be part of Ariel’s world with the movie on the big screen, complete with on-screen lyrics. The event also features face painting, a meet-and-greet with Ariel, photo opportunities, themed cocktails for purchase and more surprises.
General admission tickets are $22 and VIP tickets are $34. The event is Saturday, with VIP entry at 5:30 p.m., general entry at 6 p.m. and the movie starting at 7 p.m. at the Lamp Theatre, 222 Main St., Irwin. For tickets, visit lamptheatre.org.
Coke Oven Day
This Saturday marks the second annual Coke Oven Day in the Ligonier Valley, a great time to learn about a piece of the region’s industrial history. History buffs can view 100-year-old coke ovens and learn about their operation. The event will be held regardless of weather. A truck or SUV is required to access the parking lot, and there is a short walk to reach the site.
