THINGS TO DO

Enjoy the cool nights while we still have them and take in the Moonlight Meanderings Night Walk and Campfire, 7-9 tonight, at Moccasin Lake Nature Park, 2750 Park Trail Lane, Clearwater. This free guided hike through the nature park will look for creatures of the night. A campfire sing-along and treats follow. (727) 462-6024. See the art of your friends and neighbors. The works of Citrus County Art League members who have won awards at the Festival of the Arts will be on display at the gallery, 2644 N Annapolis Ave., off County Road 486 west of Hernando through April.

I'm Just a Bill, Conjunction Junction, and Lolly, Lolly, Lolly (Get Your Adverbs Here) jump to life as the American Stage version of SchoolHouse Rock Live! starts at 7 tonight and runs Wednesdays through Saturdays, 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, and 9 p.m. May 5 at the American Stage Playhouse, 211 Third St. S, St. Petersburg.

THINGS TO VIEW

WEDU-Ch. 3 tonight airs the PBS documentary In Our Own Hands: The Hidden Story of the Jewish Brigade in World War II. A British unit said to be the only all-Jewish group to fight in World War II is the subject. The unit faced prejudice as well as the dangers associated with its daring missions. 10 p.m. A long time ago, one of the media conglomerates was so eager to have Kris Kristofferson that it bought the whole company he recorded for. A&E's Biography on Kris Kristofferson: Nothing Left to Prove notes just writing Help Me Make it Through the Night would have guaranteed immortality as a songwriter. 8 p.m.
