Neuroscientists have made it clear: adding novelty to our week can make time feel like it moves slower... in all the right ways. Instead of the "regularly scheduled programming," let's be more intentional about adding at least one fresh, fun change each week - for the better. Here's what's on our calendar.

Monday Night Trivia at Wolf Creek
Start your work week with good friends, good times and great food and drinks! Monday night is Trivia Night at Wolf Creek from 7pm to 9pm on the patio. Bring your Wolf Pack to test your trivia skills while enjoying your favorite Wolf Creek craft brews and bites. Our current fave is the Hot Honey Pizza - featuring hand-tossed crust, a blend of mozzarella and fontina cheese, Calabrian marinara, salami, prosciutto, pepperoni and serranos, all topped with hot honey and cilantro.

TMU Theatre Presents "Anastasia"
Her past is a mystery, her future is an adventure! "Anastasia" transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family. This event runs March 20 to 29, with evening showings at 8pm, and select matinees at 2pm.

Signature Sips at Salt Creek
Snag a front-row seat to watch Salt Creek's master mixologists work their magic, crafting everything from the crisp, autumnal notes of the Harvest Pear (premium pear vodka, fresh lime and apple juice, simple syrup, cinnamon sugar rim) to the bright, refreshing splash of April Showers (premium gin, creme de violette, lemon, blackberry, fresh basil, simple syrup). If you're having trouble choosing, just ask your server about the evening's "Spirits Tasting Flight" for a premier sampling of their finest pours. It's the perfect way to end the day.
