Get Out: A Look at What to Do This Weekend

New London performs the Wizard of Oz, a Judy Moody reading challenge at Borders, and more.

Although it was only a four-day work week for most people, it still felt the same as a five-day week. Here's to unwinding before getting back to the usual schedule on Monday.

1.

When/Where: Saturday, June 4, 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., New London Theatre, 2485 Main Street East, Snellville. 

Find out what's happening in Snellvillewith free, real-time updates from Patch.

Why Go: This is the last weekend to see "The Wizard of Oz" at New London, and audiences only have two chances to see it. The junior cast, which consists of kids ages 16 and younger, is restaging the classic as a preview of the company's new Broadway Bound Children's Theatre, its summer children's program.
