If you and your children didn't get enough snow in January, enjoy cool winter fun in Snowville, EdVenture’s winter wonderland! Enter a make-believe world of imaginative play in the North Pole, become a scientist and study penguins at the South Pole, get creative in an igloo-building activity, create your own snowflake and discover more about the science of snow and ice. Snowville offers children the opportunity to learn about the cool FUN of snow (the joys of ice hockey, the excitement of sliding down snowy hills and the fun of throwing snowballs) as well as the SCIENCE of snow (how cold snow is, how are igloos made and what penguins live in the South Pole?). Exhibit continues through February 21, 2011.

Cinderella: Koger Center for the Arts

Friday February 4, 2011 - Saturday February 5, 2011
Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you... especially if you’re in the audience at Columbia City Ballet’s Cinderella. Like its ballet sibling Romeo & Juliet, Cinderella was composed by Sergei Prokofiev during World War II and was first performed by the Bolshoi in 1945. The production, based on the French fairy tale as told by Charles Perrault, centers on the theme of a young girl’s honesty and modesty triumphing over the greed and arrogance of her stepsisters and stepmother. This classic features Regina Willoughby and Mark Krieger in the lead roles, with the comic brilliance of the stepsisters portrayed by two local actors en travesti. See how the young heroine finds love and triumphs over the greed and scorn of her stepfamily as she discovers how one shoe can change her life. “Handsomely produced and marvelously danced, Cinderella made every fan’s wishes come true.” Savannah Morning News

Sanctum : Carmike 14 and Regal Sandhill Stadium 16 Theaters

Opens Friday, February 4, 2011
The 3-D action-thriller Sanctum, from executive producer James Cameron, follows a team of underwater cave divers on a treacherous expedition to the largest, most beautiful and least accessible cave system on Earth. When a tropical storm forces them deep into the caverns, they must fight raging water, deadly terrain and creeping panic as they search for an unknown escape route to the sea. Shot on location off the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, Sanctum employs 3-D photography techniques Cameron developed to lens Avatar. Designed to operate in extreme environments, the technology used to shoot the action-thriller will bring audiences on a breathless journey across plunging cliffs and into the furthest reaches of our subterranean world.

The Pitchforks of Duke University: Fine Arts Center of Kershaw County

The music of the Pitchforks of Duke University, a nationally acclaimed collegiate a cappella group, and a past winner of the SoJam Southeast Collegiate A Cappella Festival, will once again perform in the Wood Auditorium of the Fine Arts Center of Kershaw County (FAC) Friday, February 4. The performance will begin at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. A multi-talented ensemble, the Pitchforks was founded in 1979. At first, the group sang only barbershop and traditional music. Now their repertoire includes a wider range, from the Beach Boys to currently popular artists like Coldplay and Usher. It is incredible to see the variety of songs from various musical genres that this group of college aged men has mastered.
