1) The Lincoln Center Skate Club’s annual ice show regularly features a rinkful of adorable children, athletic youngsters and young adults slicing and spinning their way into the hearts of those who normally make it a sold-out event. This year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic limiting each of the four shows to crowds of 250 people each, that will still be the case with the presentation of "Musicals ‘n’ Movies." Showtimes are 7 p.m. Friday, 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday at Hamilton Community Center and Ice Arena, 2501 Lincoln Center Drive in Columbus. Check out the video clip of a previous show and note the professional polish. Information and tickets: lcsccolumbus.org

Woempner’s 25-member troupe will perform, weather permitting, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Mill Race Park, 50 Carl Miske Drive.
