Inspired by the story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs, writer Catherine Johnson’s sunny, funny tale of family and friendship unfolds on a Greek island. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings 3 men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. Songs including "Dancing Queen," "The Winner Takes It All," "Money, Money, Money" and "Take A Chance on Me" are all featured in this feel-good night of fun and laughter.

Facial Shoppe

Everyone enjoys the finer things in life. But cost and convenience prevent most of us from ever experiencing those luxuries.

The Facial Shoppe believes everyone is entitled to luxury. They created a flexible annual membership program for both waxing and facial treatments.
Their 50 minute facial includes a consultation and analysis with a skin care professional. The skin care professional will plan a course of action based on the results of the analysis to give you the best possible treatment. Each facial will include a thorough cleansing of the pores and extractions, if necessary. Light steam will be administered to open the pores and remove unwanted debris. In addition, your skin will be rejuvenated through the application of a masque. Dead skin cells will be removed through an exfoliation process. Your skin will then be moisturized to revive that youthful glow. To bring you to the height of relaxation you’ll receive a massage of your extremities, neck, and face in a soothing, relaxing environment.
