Catch a comedy play, see a raptor demonstration or take in pickleball palooza! Here are six fun things to do around Wausau this coming week!
Jan. 30 to Feb. 7 | Sentry Theater, Stevens Point
In this lightning-quick farce, four women travel to Dot’s Northwoods cabin to consume copious amounts of wine, laugh at their lives, trade stories, and chat about their book club’s latest selection. However, after the third case of wine comes through the door, it becomes clear there will be more stewing than reviewing. As the bottles tip up, the secrets spill out and the men sneak in. The madcap, door-slamming chaos comes to a head when Dot wakes up and discovers her girls’ weekend is full of men! Starts at 7 p.m. on Jan. 30-31 & Feb. 6-7. Starts at 2 p.m. on Feb. 1. Tickets are $17 adults, $12 seniors, $8 veterans. cwact.ticbooth.com
