It’s Friday, and time to plan your weekend actions.  TPR Arts & Culture reporter Jack Morgan has just a few solutions.

First off, let’s head downtown for Park(ing) Day.

Elizabeth Burt of Centro San Antonio explains it this fashion: “Park[ing] Day is an international celebration of metered parking spaces and streetscapes being taken over for a day,” she said. “And really (it’s) a venue for bringing to life pop-up parks, creative hubs and interactive experiences.” Streets are blocked off and creativity takes over.

“This year’s parking day is taking place on historic Houston Street in the downtown West neighborhood and district, specifically between North Main and Laredo Street, you’ll have Legacy Park, San Pedro Creek, Alameda Theater, Frost Tower and the Paseo and beauty that the streetscape provides any events from 10am to 4pm It’s free for everybody to join us,” she mentioned.

Up subsequent: Real Women Have Curves on the San Pedro Playhouse. Marisa Varela explains that, the play “talks about a family, mother and two daughters and two extra employees that work in a sewing factory that the oldest daughter owns. It talks about women working together … with a lot of humor.” She added that the manufacturing “is a comedy, folks chuckle actually onerous, and we’ve got a whole lot of enjoyable making it.”

It runs via October fifth, however a number of nights are already bought out.

If you’re a giant Beatles fan, then a live performance at The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts is simply what you’re searching for.  Tribute group Fab Four is playing—but there is only one performance on Friday night, and the tickets are going fast.
