ON SUNDAY, EARTH DAY `96 will be celebrated in a big way in Virginia Beach. Join in the free, informative fun from noon to 7 p.m.
Who cares that the official Earth Day was more than a week ago? We should celebrate the beauty of our vulnerable planet every day. And, where better to stage an Earth Day festival than at Mount Trashmore, the region's monument to recycling? Plan on plenty of music, crafts, games and environmental exhibits. Festivities for a new age include a recycle relay. Call 473-5237.

WEEKEND
FOR CHESAPEAKE DANCER Jennifer Weidner, partnering with Bolshoi Ballet veteran Alexander Greschenko must be some thrill. It could be compared to the ecstasy her title character in the ballet ``Cinderella'' feels at the happy ending: She hooks up with the prince, played by the Russian Greschenko.
Tonight at 8 at Virginia Beach Pavilion Theater, Old Dominion Ballet is presenting the full-length romantic ballet, featuring about 50 area dancers moving to Prokofiev's music. To be repeated 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday at Old Dominion University Theater at 4600 Hampton Blvd., Norfolk.
Admission is $12 to $16, with discounts for senior citizens, military and groups. For tonight, tickets are available at the Pavilion box office (428-8000) or through Ticketmaster (671-8100). For ODU theater tickets, call 683-4486.

SUNDAY
LORRIE MORGAN IS A RARE ARTIST, having gone triple platinum. Add to that a gold album and another approaching that status.
The daughter of the late Grand Ole Opry star George Morgan, she's a country fixture in her own right with such hits as ``A Picture Of Me'' and ``What Part Of No.''
Morgan performs at 3 p.m. Sunday on the main stage at Naval Amphibious Base at Little Creek, Norfolk. Opening for Morgan is singer-songwriter-guitarist Lee Roy Parnell, who was nominated for a Grammy this year for best country instrumental performance.
Tickets are $13 in advance through Ticketmaster and on the naval base; $15, day of show. To order by phone, call 671-8100. For more information, call 363-4311.
