COURT DATES have a way of bringing about a change of heart. They did for mega-rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, and the proof is apparent in his sophomore album, ``Tha Doggfather.'' ``I want to bring people to understand there can be happiness, if you want happiness,'' he has said. ``That's what everybody needs right now. Hear ye, hear ye. Come one, come all. I want ya'll hangin' with me in Doggyland, where a brother is a brother.'' Come Wednesday, Doggyland will be Norfolk State University's Joe Echols Arena, where he performs at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 advance; order at 671-8100. Call 855-1044 for details. If Snoop keeps this up, he may just make good on his boast to become the first rapper in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

SUNDAY
Winter Carnival
ANIMALS ABOUND in the usually civilized Chrysler Museum on Sunday at the Family Fun Winter Carnival. A docent leads an Animal Safari tour at 1:15 through the museum galleries, followed at 2 p.m. by ``Carnival of the Animals,'' a production by Bob Brown Puppets. The zoological fantasy concerns a young boy whose toys come to life. Stars include a 7-foot-tall kangaroo magician, a dancing dinosaur skeleton, a school flourescent fish and an ice-skating swan. And there's a workshop to create animal masks at 3 p.m.
Children are encouraged to dress as their favorite animal. Call 664-6200.

MONDAY Mummenschanz
THEIR NAME was a running joke on David Letterman's late-night chat fest. Well, Dave won't have Mummenschanz to kick around anymore. The Swiss mime-dance-puppetry troupe is billing this outing as their farewell tour.
They appear Monday at Ogden Hall in Hampton, courtesy of the Hampton Arts Commission. Show time: 8 p.m. Tickets: $10-$17.50. Call 722-ARTS for info. - Robert Vowell ILLUSTRATION: Color photos
