    Weekend Event Planner

    The Wizard of Oz onstage tops best weekend events in Dallas

    Mar 20, 2014 | 12:00 am

    We seem to be living in a backward world. Last week — a time when many people were on spring break — was packed with top-flight events. Now that everybody is back in town, this weekend has significantly less to offer.

    But don't despair: There are still a few things worth checking out. Below are your best options for your precious free time Thursday through Sunday. Don't like what you see? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, March 20

    Undermain Theatre presents We are Proud to Present a Presentation…
    The official name for this play, making its regional debut at Undermain Theatre, consists of 27 words, essentially providing a synopsis of the plot. The production is actually kind of a play within a play, as a group of actors gear up to portray the extermination of the Herero tribe of Namibia by the Germans. But how each actor identifies with the character they're playing makes for some funny and tense situations. It plays through April 19.

    Dallas Summer Musicals presents The Wizard of Oz
    We all know and love The Wizard of Oz, and now there's more of it to love as Dallas Summer Musicals presents the stage version. Playing at the Music Hall at Fair Park through March 30, the musical has every song and iconic moment from the film, as well as a few new songs from Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber and some surprises along the yellow brick road.

    Friday, March 21

    Gin Blossoms in concert
    When the Gin Blossoms were at their peak in the early 1990s, fans would've killed to see them in a venue as small as The Kessler. But 20 years later, the band is purely a nostalgic act, despite putting out two albums since 2006. The band, famous for songs like "Hey Jealousy," "Found Out About You" and "Follow You Down," plays two shows at the renovated Oak Cliff theater.

    Dallas Opera presents Die tote Stadt (The Dead City)
    The Dallas Opera starts to bring its 2013-2014 season to a close with Die tote Stadt, the classic German opera from composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Playing at Winspear Opera House through April 6, it tells the story of a man obsessed with his dead wife who must try to let go of her memory in order to truly live again.

    Saturday, March 22

    2014 Dallas Vintage Clothing and Jewelry Show
    You could hunt and peck at various antique and vintage stores around the Dallas-Fort Worth area, or you could just do some one-stop shopping at the Dallas Vintage Clothing and Jewelry Show, which starts Friday and goes through Sunday at Addison Conference Centre. Dozens of vintage dealers from around the country display their wares — and hope you buy.

    Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas Art Bus Tour
    The latest bus tour from the Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas takes the art adventurous from Holly Johnson Gallery in the Design District to Kirk Hopper Fine Art in downtown Dallas before heading a bit out of town to Webb Gallery in Waxahachie. The price of the tour includes both the bus ride and lunch from Boster Catering.

    Savor Dallas International Grand Tasting
    This is one of the few Savor Dallas events that hasn't yet sold out, so act now to secure your spot. Now in its 10th year, this finale features tastes from top local restaurants, hundreds of wines, and selection of beers and spirits. A VIP Tasting Package gets you into both the Reserve Tasting earlier in the day and early entry into the International Grand Tasting.

    Sunday, March 23

    Dallas Holocaust Museum presents screening of Besa: The Promise
    The Dallas Holocaust Museum is currently displaying "Besa: Code of Honor," and this is the second of two feature-length documentary screenings related to the exhibit. The film details how Albania, with a majority Muslim population, managed to successfully hide and protect almost all of the Jewish refugees within its borders during World War II.

    Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra presents Twilight of the Gods
    The latest concert from the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra aims to bring a little thunder to the Bass Performance Hall. Featuring three performances Friday through Sunday, the orchestra plays Peter Sculthorpe's "Earth Cry," with a prominent didgeridoo element, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 and Wagner's Götterdämmerung.

    The Dallas Holocaust Museum screens the documentary Besa: The Promise on March 23.

    Dallas Bike Ride event will close down streets around downtown

    Thousands of bicyclists are expected to hit the streets of Dallas thanks to the Dallas Bike Ride, an annual ride taking place on Saturday, May 17 that's anticipated to draw 4,000 riders.

    Described as a family-friendly celebration of cycling and community, the Dallas Bike Ride welcomes riders of all ages and abilities to cruise at their own pace past iconic Dallas landmarks including Reunion Tower and the JFK Memorial. It's a recreational ride with a festive atmosphere: snacks, drinks, photo opportunities, and live music along the route.

    The 20-mile ride is "car-free" because — just like the marathon — it blocks off the streets where it passes, and those streets include the most densely populated neighborhoods in the inner city/urban core: the Central Business District, Victory Park, the Design District, West Dallas, Kessler Park, and the Bishop Arts District.

    That means four hours of avoiding those neighborhoods if you are driving, since it begins at 8 am, and is anticipated to last until 12 pm.

    A course guide highlights the neighborhoods and times that motorists are advised to avoid.

    The ride will start at City Hall, then cross over to Victory Park, before heading to Uptown and Oak Lawn, then through the Design District, to West Dallas, before doubling back towards downtown.

    From there it will swing over to Kessler Park and Bishop Arts before returning to downtown Dallas where it will end at City Hall with a branded Methodist Dallas Finish Festival, featuring live music, a beer garden, and food trucks.

    • Downtown Dallas will be closed from 7:45 am-12 pm, along Ervay, Commerce, Young, and Marilla.
    • Victory Park will be closed from 7:51-9 am, along Houston Street and Nowitzski Way.
    • Oak Lawn will be closed from 7:53-9:35 am, along Cedar Springs, Maple Avenue, Turtle Creek Boulevard, and Oak Lawn Avenue.
    • West Dallas will be closed from 7:48-10:40 am, along Continental Avenue, Riverfront Boulevard, and Commerce Street.
    • Kessler Park will be closed from 8:28-11:08 am, along Edgefield Avenue, Kessler Parkway, and Colorado Boulevard.
    • Bishop Arts will be closed from 8:32-11:59 am, along Tyler Street, Polk Street, West 12th Street, Zang Boulevard, and Jefferson Boulevard.

    The specific streets and times are listed here.
