Weekend Top 5

The Henrico Theatre Company will present “Souvenir” at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen at 8 p.m. Nov. 19-20 and at 3 p.m. Nov. 21. This fantasia on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins, featuring music by Stephen Temperley, is told through the eyes of her accompanist, Cosme McMoon. Jenkins was a wealthy socialite who believed she was a great coloratura soprano when, in fact, she was incapable of producing two consecutive notes in tune. Nevertheless, her annual recitals brought her extraordinary fame. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. For details, call 261-ARTS or visit artsglenallen.com.

Christmas at Granny’s Craft Show, a Glen Allen tradition since the 1980s, will return Nov. 19-21. The Virginia Cliffe Inn, 2900 Mountain Road, will be filled with a unique collection from over 60 area crafters, artists and bakers to get the holiday season started in style. Every room of the historic home is filled with styled displays to match each room, just as they would be displayed in your own home, to make for a truly unique shopping experience. While touring through the rooms of the home, now a bed and breakfast, visitors will be able to sample baked goods in the kitchen, purchase elegant ornaments in the parlor, select soaps in the powder rooms, and pick out hand painted notecards in the study. Food trucks and hot cider also will be available. Show hours are noon to 7 p.m. Nov. 19, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 20 and from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 21.
