Marc Chagall's Colorful Musical Adventure, at 10 a.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Saturday-Sunday; performances of Into the Woods Jr. by the singing Musical Miracles; and, at noon Saturday on the theater's mainstage, a performance by seven-year-old piano prodigy Ethan Bortnick, the very cute kid at the left.
