Feels like summer, no? What’s more ‘tis the season than baseball? Kick off the week with the Columbia Fireflies for Moe’s Monday, and then at Founders Park when the Gamecocks battle UofSC Upstate on Tuesday at 7 p.m. If sports aren’t really your thing, there’s a few options to enjoy the stage this week, too. On Tuesday, The Book of Mormon will be at the Koger Center, or see Town Theatre’s production of Hairspray on Thursday.
