The weekend is almost here and it’s time to start thinking of fun things for the kids or young adults in your house to do.
Since the Oscars are still fresh in our minds, there are auditions for teens aspiring to be an actor or actress. If you want to see a play, the classic “Beauty and the Beast" is now appearing in Dix Hills. And with St.Patrick's Day coming up, there is a Children’s Irish Dance performance.
You can also take the kids to meet the performers of the Greatest Show on Earth or stay close to home and head over to the library where children with special needs can learn that music is fun.
