This weekend’s options range from collecting water samples in waders to watching a familiar nanny arrive on the big screen. Here are four ways to plan Friday through Sunday, Nov. 13–15, with the booking details that matter.
All times are Eastern. Prices and listings were checked Nov. 12; confirm availability with the organizer before leaving.
Friday night: Whose Live Anyway?
Friday, Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m.; doors at 6:30 p.m. Miller Theater, 708 Broad Street, Augusta Listed tickets: $65.60–$74.58
The touring improv show builds comedy and songs from audience suggestions. The Miller lists Greg Proops, Jeff B. Davis, Ryan Stiles and Joel Murray.
The venue welcomes all ages but warns that the performance includes some “PG-13” language. Parents should use that information rather than assuming an all-ages listing means a children’s show.
Buy through the Miller’s event page. The separate Founders Room listing is not the performance ticket.
Friday or Saturday morning: try the water science
Friday, Nov. 13, or Saturday, Nov. 14, 9–11 a.m. Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, 1858 Lock and Dam Road, Augusta Listed participant ticket: $26.03; registration required
Phinizy’s Eco Explorers program introduces adults to water-quality work, then has participants collect, assess and analyze water while wearing waders.
This is an adult program, described as mostly outdoors and lasting about an hour and a half to two hours. Register for the specific Friday or Saturday session.
The registration page requires both a paid participant ticket and a free registration-information ticket. The free information item does not mean the activity is free.
For accessibility, clothing or weather questions, contact the organizer before booking. The listing provides 706-396-1418.
Friday and Saturday: Revolutionary-era history
Friday, Nov. 13, 6 p.m.; Saturday, Nov. 14, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. 1 10th Street, Augusta Free, according to Visit Augusta’s event listing
The Annual Cashin Memorial Wilson Symposium examines Native peoples, Loyalists, the Revolutionary legacy during secession, and religion and the Black church.
The current Visit Augusta listing identifies a Friday keynote by Alice Taylor-Colbert, followed by a reception. Saturday’s listed speakers are Thomas Heard Robertson Jr., Melissa DeVelvis and Bobby Donaldson.
The tourism listing supplies 706-724-0436 and events@historicaugusta.org for the organizer. Its linked organizer webpage was unavailable when checked, so confirm room and attendance arrangements directly before going. The two days have different start times.
Sunday afternoon: Mary Poppins, without a ticket charge
Sunday, Nov. 15, 2 p.m.; doors at 1 p.m. Miller Theater, 708 Broad Street, Augusta Free; reserve tickets in advance
The Miller’s movie series offers a free showing of Mary Poppins. The venue asks visitors to reserve tickets ahead, and seating is general admission on a first-come, first-served basis.
Use the official event page to claim tickets. A reservation should not be read as an assigned seat.
GCG’s earlier Miller preview also covers Thursday’s symphony performance for readers starting their weekend early.
Before you head out
Check ticket availability, travel time and access needs with each venue. Check the forecast before the outdoor science sessions, and ask Phinizy about any weather-related changes.
