What ever happened to Cinderella after she married her prince? Discover the unbelievable and twisted endings of beloved fairy tale classics during Into the Woods.

Tickets are 40$ and can be purchased online. Greenville theater welcomes you to a night of magical mayhem like no other.

A man’s best friend may be a dog, but I’d argue that a little girl’s best friend is often a unicorn. Create magical memories this weekend at Unicorn World, where life sized unicorns abound. Explore Rainbow Acres, the Enchanted Unicorn Forest, Bounce House Village, and the Magical Market. Children are invited to play carnival style lawn games and create unicorn themed arts and crafts. Capture the moment with a whimsical photo booth! Tickets are $26, but children 2 and under are free. Treat your little one to an experience that they will never forget.

Four

Phil Jackson once said, "In basketball, as in life, true joy comes from being fully present in each and every moment…" Enjoy the little moments, like cheering with abandon for your favorite team and players, when the 2024 SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament comes to town. For only $99, customers can purchase a General Admission Ticket Book that is good for all 13 games. A steal! Want to make it a private party? Check out the Hospitality package for access to lounge areas and lunch & dinner buffet options. There’s nothing like a little competition to keep your head in the game.
