Is that a magic window opening up in Sunday’s forecast just for us?
WHO’S HOLIDAY OPENS SATURDAY, AND THERE’S A 6:00 SHOW ON 2ND SUNDAY
Footlights Players at the Queen Street Playhouse announce Cindy Lou Who is back, boozier and bawdier than ever in the return of last year’s sold out holiday hit Who’s Holiday. In this raunchy and hilarious one-woman show, Cindy Lou Who, Giulia Dalbec (Andrew Lippa’s Wild Party) is all grown up - and she isn’t quite the adorable child you remember from Dr. Seuss’s classic ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas!’
Now a chain-smoking forty year old living in a trailer on Mt. Crumpet, many years have passed since Cindy caught the Grinch in her living room in this 60 minute R-rated comedy The Village Voice called ‘a comic tour deforce.‘
Last year’s debut run of Who’s Holiday was a sell out hit, so grab your tickets now! Just $28 + fees.

October 18, 5:30 pm
Blue Bicycle Books presents A Renkl in Two Weeks' Time
Wed., Oct. 18, 5:30 pm, New York Times columnist Margaret Renkl will be in the courtyard for her new devotional The Comfort of Crows (Spiegel & Grau, 288 pp.,$32).
In 52 chapters, each with original color illustrations, Renkl follows the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief.
This event is presented by the Charleston Natural History Society (formerly the Charleston Audubon Society).

10am-12pm
The Children’s Museum is open from 10:00am – 12:00pm on the second and fourth Sundays of every month exclusively for children with special needs and their families to visit the Museum for FREE. Children are able to explore and play in the Museum without the crowds and over-stimulation.
This program is FREE, but registration is required below.
At the Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry, play is learning and learning is play. CML believes that play is essential to the educational development of ALL children, regardless of challenges such as autism, developmental delays or physical disabilities. CML has proven to be a critical partner for the special needs community. Participants come from across the Charleston tri-county area at the suggestion of their doctors, therapists, teachers and hospitals.
Participants learn through play at their own pace, build self-confidence and discover their natural talents. Using CML as an alternative play environment, children can hone fine and gross motor skills through play, explore a multi-story medieval castle and shop for “real” groceries. Questions? Please contact Misty Beck at misty@exploreCML.org
