Knox Area Weekend To Do List - February 19-21, 2021

Posted by Lainey Jones on Wednesday, February 17, 2021 at 9:00 AM By Lainey Jones / February 17, 2021 Comment

Check out this edition of the Great Life RE Weekend To Do List! While we try to find activities and events that promote social distancing and a safe environment please always use your own judgment when attending any activity or function. 

Do: Stay Home and Read A Book Ball

When: Saturday, February 20th 

Where: At Home! 

Join in for the best non-event of the year — the Friends of the Knox County Public Library’s Stay Home and Read a Book Ball.
Read for a few hours or even all day from your couch or favorite chair, your bed, a tent in the woods — anywhere you choose!

RSVP by making a gift in any amount to Friends at knoxfriends.org/news-events/book-ball/. Then shop for a book to read with a 10% off coupon from Union Ave Books, mix a drink with a free recipe from Libacious, and join in as everyone reads for a cause!

While you’re having a ball reading at home, you’ll be supporting the Knox County Public Library by helping us raise funds to add more e-materials to the library’s collection.
Wear your favorite PJs, evening attire, or anything in between — it’s up to you.

Book Ball Sponsors: Knox County Public Library, Knox County Public Library Foundation, Libacious, Union Ave Books

Watch & Listen: Virtual Plays from The Flying Anvil 

When: Until February 22nd 

Where: Online

Flying Anvil Theatre is re-releasing two shows from their 2020 virtual season as on-demand streaming videos through February 22nd. Streaming passes for the shows The Deadline and Branching Out are available via their website, www.flyinganviltheatre.com.

The first on-demand offering is the original comedy Branching Out , by Jayne Morgan. Three bickering 60-something, White siblings discover they have a Black, much younger, half-sister during a family Zoom call. The three redefine their family tree in this adult comedy. Some mature language is used, themes are appropriate for high-school and up.

The second offering is The Deadline Office mates joke, bicker and backstab their way through Power Points and Break Out Rooms until one of the employees hears a strange noise and goes to investigate. Concern rises to panic and then outright horror as something infiltrates the meeting and maybe, the planet.

Each on-demand show is available at www.flyinganviltheatre.com starting February 12th. Tickets are recommended at $10, but audience members can choose their own price with “Pay What You Can" starting at $1.
