The Wednesday Short List
Places to go, things to do
TODAY
"The Frog Prince"
A day trip close to home that's fun for the whole family. When a princess loses her golden ball down the well, only a little frog can help her. But when the frog asks for a kiss in return, the princess tries everything to avoid it. Adapted by Catherine Gray. After the show, take a ride on the Creeper Trail for a whole day of fun. $9.25 10 a.m. Barter Theater Stage II, Abingdon. (276) 628-3991, bartertheatre.com.
