“Mame” at Cumming Playhouse

Bozarts Little Theater presents the classic stage musical “Mame.” An out-of-the-box Manhattan socialite in the 1920s, Auntie Mame finds her life changed when she’s given the responsibility of raising her orphaned nephew. While Mame takes on the task, she falls into a series of adventures and butts heads with members of the social elite. The songs come from the pen of the great Jerry Herman. Show tunes include “If He Walked Into My Life” and “We Need a Little Christmas.”

8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays. 3 p.m. Sundays. Through Oct. 23. $12.50-20. Cumming Playhouse, 101 School St., Cumming. 770-781-9178, www.playhousecumming.com .

MARIETTA

Rocktoberfest at Mountain View United Methodist Church

The smell of bratwurst in the air is definitely a nod to the German Oktoberfest concept. But stateside touches such as burgers, dogs and caramel apples make this more of an American-style fall festival. Kids will be hopping inside inflatables while bands perform a variety of music from rock to folk to inspirational. Guests are invited to bring blankets and lawn chairs and soak up the sounds. The event is gratis, but food and drinks will be sold.

4-8 p.m. Oct. 9. Free. Mountain View United Methodist Church, 2300 Jamerson Road. Marietta. 770-928-0050, www.mvumc.org .
