Even if there isn't snow on the ground here in Little Rock, you can still enjoy a winter wonderland at the Arkansas Art Center Children's Theatre's upcoming show. 

"'The Snowy Day' and Other Stories by Ezra Jack Keats" takes the stage from Feb. 2-18. The play is based on Keats' childhood favorite books and follows little Peter in his discoveries through the freshly fallen snow and other adventures. 

The show takes the stage every Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $10-$12.50. Click here for more information and to purchase tickets.
