South Park Theatre presents "The Kitchen Witches" at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday.

Winner of the 2005 Samuel French Canadian Play Contest, "Witches" is the story of two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses, who have hated each other for 30 years, forced to work together on a TV show.

Admission is $12. Discounted rates for groups of 15 people or more are available at $2 off per person. Reservations can be made by calling (412) 381-8552.

In addition, the South Park Children's Theatre has one more show scheduled for the 2011 season. "Roaring, Boring Alice" will play from August 1 through 10. Admission is $2 and shows are 6:30 p.m. Monday at 6:30 p.m., 10 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, and 10 a.m. Wednesday.

South Park Theatre is located at the intersection of Corrigan Drive and Brownsville Rd, South Park, across the street from the Children's Playground and next door to the county park police station. Visit the website for more information.

Butterflies at South Park: Also at South Park, the nature center presents a "search and enjoy" program on butterflies for children and adults at 10 a.m. Sunday. The nature center is located on Buffalo Drive. Call (412) 835-0143.

(Editor's note: The press release we received from the county about this event actually says "Sunday, July 30," so is the event on Saturday, July 30 or Sunday, July 31? We tried calling and couldn't reach anyone. Caveat lector.)

Dancing Queen at Renzie: The city's summer concert series continues with the funky disco stylings of "Dancing Queen" at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Lions Bandshell in Renziehausen Park.

Admission is free and refreshments will be on sale. All seating is "lawn seating," and attendees should bring a blanket or lawn chair.

McKeesport's summer concert series is sponsored by the city's Recreation Department and the McKeesport Lions Club. Visitors are encouraged to bring old, gently worn eyeglasses that can be fitted with new lenses for the needy.
