WARWICK, RI — This week’s Warwick Weekend events include GAMM Theater’s ‘Ghosts,’  Winter Market at Warwick Mall, skating and a winter greenhouse respite at Roger Williams Park.

The Warwick Weekend events weather forecast calls sunny skies and temps in the 40s Friday and Saturday, then the mercury drops into the high 30s Sunday, with a chance of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

Plan your Weekend carefully, as the city’s parking ban has been extended till 6 p.m. Monday.

“Please keep all vehicles off the roadway so plow crews can continue clearing safely and efficiently.  Vehicles in violation may be ticketed and towed. Thank you for your cooperation and helping keep our roads safe,” Warwick Police announced Thursday,.

Here are some events and happenings to help you decide where you’re spending the weekend, some of it indoors:

Warwick Weekend Events Friday:

GAMM Previews “Ghosts” by Henrik Ibsen, 7 p.m.  GAMM Theater at 1245 Jefferson Blvd is previewing “Ghosts” this weekend, with tickets discounted at $60. Ghosts is a gripping story of family secrets, buried truths, and the cost of living in denial—brought to life by an incredible group of artists. Ibsen’s haunting masterpiece lays bare the corrosive power of secrets and the cost of keeping up appearances. In a remote Norwegian town, widow Helen Alving prepares to dedicate an orphanage in her late husband’s name. But when her son Oswald returns home, buried truths begin to rise.

Let this snowstorm be the prelude to something electrifying. Make your plans now, secure your seats, and turn your snow day into a SHOW DAY. We can’t wait to welcome you in from the cold.

Their Caffeinated Insomniacs Comedy show – designed for teens and adults – is the place to be at 10 p.m. Their show welcomes voluntary audience participation. You can participate in one of three ways: applaud for a scene you like, yell out fantastic suggestions, or if you feel you’re ready, jump up and get involved.
