Planetarium Fun, Opening Night Downtown, and Ball State Sports Highlight Friday in Muncie

Family Science Takes Center Stage Tonight

Families looking for an early evening outing have a solid option on campus tonight. Ball State’s planetarium is hosting a kid-focused space show designed for younger audiences, but welcoming all ages. The program blends storytelling with astronomy and has become a popular winter option for parents looking to get out of the house.

Doors close shortly after the start time, so attendees are encouraged to arrive early. The show is part of a short February run and returns again later this month.

Downtown Theatre Opens a New Production

Opening night arrives downtown as Muncie Civic Theatre launches its latest mainstage musical. The production runs through February and adds to a busy winter schedule for the arts scene along Main Street.

Evening performances are scheduled throughout the weekend, with matinees on Sundays. The show is rated for teen and adult audiences and is expected to draw steady crowds as Valentine’s Day approaches.

Ball State Women’s Tennis Returns Home

On the sports front, Ball State women’s tennis is back in Muncie this afternoon for its home opener. The Cardinals host in-state rival Butler, building on momentum from a strong road win last weekend.

The match offers fans an early look at a team hoping to make noise in conference play later this spring. Play begins mid-afternoon at the First Serve Muncie Tennis Center.

Looking Ahead to the Weekend

Saturday brings a free community celebration at Minnetrista marking the start of Black History Month. The event focuses on youth leadership and includes activities, storytelling, and community groups throughout the morning and early afternoon.

With arts, sports, and community events all packed into one weekend, Muncie is heading into February with plenty to do indoors.
