Happy Thursday Valley Hoppers!
We’ve got a great range of events this week, from big sell-out shows like Louis CK and the Nutcracker to local productions and even a Children’s show!
Last year, our daughter loved Beauty and the Beast at the Stockton Civic Theatre so much that she dragged us to it twice, and we can’t wait to see what Anastasia has in store!
Comedy, boxing, symphonies— heck even slam poetry. We’ve got it all, folks!
We hope you enjoy.
