Scattered thundershowers and sultry temperatures mean summer is here.
If you want to brave the dicey weather, Atlanta has plenty of outside activities planned, and a few indoors as well.
PETER PAN AT SERENBE PLAYHOUSE
The famous flying boy arrives Thursday at Georgia’s own Neverland, Serenbe, down in Palmetto, and remains through August 26.
This new theatrical version of the Peter Pan story is by Roger Q. Mason, and is enjoying its world premiere.
Serenbe performances are outdoors, rain or shine; this one is in an area of Serenbe called the Mado Hideaway.
11 a.m. Thursdays-Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. $15-30. 9110 Selborne Lane, Palmetto. 770-463-1110, www.serenbeplayhouse.com/
COCKTAILS IN THE GARDEN AT THE ATLANTA BOTANICAL GARDEN
Explore a different corner of the garden each week, enjoy a libation, hear live music, and play games at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Normal admission gets you to a cash bar and the wonders of the humongous plant sculptures in the new exhibit “Imaginary Worlds.”
Cocktails in the Garden, 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Thursdays. $21.95. Atlanta Botanical Garden, 1345 Piedmont Ave. 404-876-5859, atlantabg.org
