Five things not to miss this week
This is a pretty big week in the world of local Arts & Entertainment – Merely Players is opening its production of “Macbeth,””The New Colossus” swings into town and San Juan Symphony celebrates Beethoven’s birthday (more about these in Friday’s paper). On top of all of those, here are five other things not to miss this week:
1. “Disaster! A ’70s Disaster Movie Musical”
7:30 p.m. Feb. 19-22, 2 p.m. Feb. 23, Farmington Civic Center, 200 W Arrington St., Farmington.
If there’s one thing I love, it’s disaster movies from the 1970s – “Poseidon Adventure,” “Towering Inferno” and let’s not forget “Avalanche,” which was filmed right up the street at Tamarron.
“Disaster!” takes it to the stage, giving you earthquakes, tidal waves, infernos and unforgettable ’70s hits like “Knock On Wood,” “Hooked on a Feeling,” “Sky High,” “I am Woman” and “Hot Stuff.” Tickets cost $10-$32, and are available online at
