Try your luck, participate in a murder mystery and catch a high school musical.
This weekend looks to be a little bit chilly, and might be best spent cozied up indoors. That doesn’t mean you have to stay home, however.

Hop in for this weekend’s pub crawl, catch the final performance of “Rabbit Hole” and get your work clothes out.
For the upcoming events in the Phoenixville area, this weekend marks several endings. First, those counting down until St. Patrick’s Day have the day in sight now, and they can start the fun early with this year’s pub crawl. “Rabbit Hole,” performed by Forge Theatre, winds down its run, and the final writers series sponsored by Wolfgang Books will take place Saturday. With endings, however, come beginnings.

Donuts, pancakes, Italian food and a few extra events are thrown into the mix for the upcoming week.
Hungry for pancakes? You’ll find two huge helpings this weekend. No matter what part of the Phoenixville area you reside in, you’ll be mere minutes away from a pancake breakfast on Saturday. If a double dose of pancake breakfasts (with a bonus maple sugar festival thrown in) doesn’t strike your fancy, maybe donuts will do. Kimberton Fire Company’s delicious Donut Days will help mark Fastnacht Day on March 8. An Italian dinner benefit caps off the food-related goodness coming up in the Phoenixville area. Still not hungry? Take in a play at Kimberton Waldorf School. “Bye Bye Birdie” runs March 3 – 5.
