The best events this week to peel you off your couch
Do you ever have one of those weeks where everything that can go wrong … well, goes wrong? Yet you’re still hopeful on finding romance? Oddly specific, yes, but that’s the life of Sara in CAT Theatre’s newest show, Lucky Me. Opening night Friday, April 6 at 8 p.m. Show runs through April 21.
The Center for Womanist Leadership conference is back again.

Warning: you may never think in the same way again. Friday, April 6 through Sunday, April 8. See website for various locations.
Ahhh, spring is here and with it comes wine and beer festivals galore. For you wine lovers, check out James River Cellars Winery’s April Fool’s Festival, Saturday, April 7 through Sunday, April 8.
