A new Sunday matinee series at 11 am. $7 per ticket.
Quirky lyrics and the swing and bounce of American roots music are singer-songwriter Ben Rudnick’s trademark, and he combines them to winning effect in his latest musical potpourri.
The wacky private ear, Inspector Pulse, receives a banjo for a present. It comes with an instruction manual that only teaches three chords: I, IV, and V. At first, he finds this terribly limiting but he soon discovers that those same three chords are very important in lots of music, from folk songs to Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms!
Paint, draw, sculpt or craft a work of art inspired by exhibitions on view with different themes each week. Ages 3 and up.
ALL WEEKEND
It’s the 50th anniversary of the founding of Thunderbird American Indian Dancers and the troupe will hold its 38th annual Dance Concert and Pow Wow.

The Children’s Museum of the Arts presents the most comprehensive collection of works to-date by visionary artist and MC, RAMMELLZEE. Entitled The RAMMELLZEE Galaxseum, the exhibition will reveal the inner workings of RAMMELLZEE’s artistic vision and trace his career trajectory which began in the 1970s as a pioneering “Wild Style” graffiti writer and hip hop MC and evolved in manifesto and medium to the far reaches of the imagination.
Using recycled materials like plastic bottles and juice cartons, learn how to make a bird home or feeder. Decorate it with natural materials to welcome in your new feathery friends.
