    Weekend Event Planner

    These are the 12 best things to do in Dallas this weekend

    The pace of events in and around Dallas has been relentless in recent weeks, and even though things slow down a bit this weekend, there are still a lot of big things to do. They include a pair of local theater productions, five concerts, the return of a favorite opera, a live podcast, a dance production, a comedian, and a visit from an eccentric filmmaker.

    Below are the best ways to spend your precious free time this weekend. Want more options? Lucky for you, we have a much longer list of the city's best events.

    Thursday, October 12

    Cara Mía Theatre presents Barrio Daze
    Barrio Daze is a solo Latino comedy show by Adrian Villegas that tells the story of a fateful Election Day in the barrio through the lives of nine very different characters. The communities under attack strike back against a rabidly conservative politician in the heated Senatorial race. At the frontline is the hood's very own Chicano school teacher's inspiring grass-roots campaign. Cara Mía Theatre presents the production at Latino Cultural Center through Sunday.

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents "Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2"
    "Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2" presented by Dallas Symphony Orchestra will feature conductor Fabio Luisi and pianist Rudolf Buchbinder. Selections will include the world premiere of Snapshots, the DSO-commissioned work by Jessie Montgomery; Antheil's A Jazz Symphony (1925); David Chesky's American Bluegrass; and Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2. There will be three performances through Sunday at the Meyerson Symphony Center.

    Rover Dramawerks presents Bernhardt / Hamlet
    In 1899, legendary leading lady Sarah Bernhardt’s decision to assume the title role of Shakespeare’s Hamlet left critics and patriarchs aghast and indignant. Laced with forbidden romance and backstage gossip, this behind-the-scenes look at Bernhardt’s most ambitious role is a dynamic character study of one of the most famous actresses - and infamous divas - in the world. The production runs through October 28 at Cox Playhouse in Plano.

    Friday, October 13

    Dallas Opera presents Tosca
    A bold and passionate opera singer, Tosca fights to save the life of her beloved even if it means sacrificing herself - or whoever gets in her way. The grand production of power, desperation, and betrayal is brought to life by The Dallas Opera Orchestra and Chorus, featuring some of the most electrifying voices in opera today. The production will have four performances through October 21 at Winspear Opera House.

    Welcome to Night Vale
    Welcome to Night Vale is a twice-monthly podcast in the style of community updates for the small desert town of Night Vale, featuring local weather, news, announcements from the Sheriff’s Secret Police, mysterious lights in the night sky, dark hooded figures with unknowable powers, and cultural events. The live event will take place at Texas Theatre.

    TITAS/Dance Unbound presents Sankai Juku
    Tokyo’s Sankai Juku is known worldwide for its elegance, precision, and emotional depth, led by choreographer/founder Ushio Amagatsu. With KŌSA, Amagatsu has built an evening-length work in an effort to present the most essential elements of his vision. It is an immersive experience, rich with Japanese culture, artistic excellence, and the power of creativity. There will be performances on both Friday and Saturday at Moody Performance Hall.

    Saturday, October 14

    Mark Normand: Ya Don't Say Tour
    Through his relentlessly punchy writing and expert delivery, Mark Normand is has become one of the most talked-about comedians on the scene. He most recently self-released a one-hour special, Out To Lunch, on YouTube. A veteran of the late night shows, Normand also has his own podcast, Tuesdays with Stories. He'll bring his new show, Ya Don't Say, to Majestic Theatre.

    Longhorn Ballroom presents John Waters: End of the World
    John Waters’ spoken word show, End of the World, is a fast-moving, comic monologue about today’s despair and diseases, desires and desperation with an insane optimism that welcomes all audiences into a new dawn of depravity. Waters talks about how to reinvent the movie business, embrace stupidity in an intellectual way, and go beyond the limits of sexual transgression. The event takes place at Longhorn Ballroom.

    Enhypen in concert
    Dallas-Fort Worth has played host to a host of K-pop bands in recent years, as a series of Korean boy and girl bands have performed at venues around the area. The latest to come to town is Enhypen, which was formed through, of all things, a survival competition show called I-Land. In the past three years they've put out two albums and four EPs, including the recent EP, Dark Blood, and each has been rapturously received around the world. They'll play at American Airlines Center.

    Sting in concert
    Sting’s My Songs tour features his most beloved songs, written throughout his illustrious career both with The Police and as a solo artist. The concert is an exuberant and dynamic show featuring hits like "Fields of Gold," "Shape of my Heart," "Roxanne," "Englishman In New York," "Every Breath You Take," "Roxanne," "Message In A Bottle," "Demolition Man," and more. He'll play at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory.

    Sunday, October 15

    Noah Kahan in concert
    Folk-pop singer Noah Kahan has been slowly but surely working his way to success. Neither his 2019 debut album, Busyhead, nor his 2021 sophomore effort, I Was / I Am, made a dent on the charts, but the critical acclaim he received and the word-of-mouth from his growing fanbase made his third album, 2022's Stick Season, a smash, coming in at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. His rise to fame is such that he went from playing House of Blues Dallas this past January to this concert at American Airlines Center, with another at Dos Equis Pavilion coming next year.

    Kesha in concert
    After waiting 11 years after her 2010 debut No. 1 album, Animal, to headline a concert in Dallas, Kesha is back a couple years later with top billing for this concert at The Factory in Deep Ellum. The singer, best known for hits like "Tik Tok," "We R Who We R," and "Die Young," comes to town in support of her latest album, Gag Order.

    Movie Review

    Dark comedy Oh, Hi! takes relationship anxiety to the extreme

    Logan Lerman and Molly Gordon in Oh, Hi!.

    Movies that depict new or burgeoning relationships tend to focus on the romantic side of things, as the prospect of love is intoxicating whether viewers are in their own relationship or not. Less often depicted is the awkwardness and confusion that can arise when getting to know someone new, something that is done to extreme effect in the new film Oh, Hi!.

    Iris (Molly Gordon) and Isaac (Logan Lerman), who’ve been dating for a few months, decide to take a weekend getaway to the country, which for them means a small town called High Falls, New York (a broken welcome sign has Iris mistakenly call it O High Falls). Having rented a farmhouse for the weekend, the new couple get strawberries from a roadside stand, enjoy the charming nature of the countryside, and, of course, have sex.

    The discovery of some S&M gear in the house inspires Iris and Isaac to get a little kinky. But some post-coital talk turns tense when Iris gushes about how happy she is to have a great boyfriend, and Isaac, still chained to the bed, tells Iris that he doesn’t consider them to be exclusive. This revelation breaks Iris to a degree, and instead of unchaining him, she uses his vulnerable position to try to convince him that they should be together.

    Written and directed by Sophie Brooks, the film is initially an interesting twist on the anxiety that can come with new relationships. Typically manifested in things like obsessing over what to wear or when to call/text someone back, Brooks and Gordon (who came up with the story together) instead decide to go all in on a woman acting “crazy” when confronted with information that doesn’t match her reality.

    Iris’ bad decision to keep Isaac chained to bed and obliviousness to the off-the-wall way she is acting are heightened for effect, although the feelings she’s experiencing remain relatable despite her actions. The conversations Iris and Isaac have, as well as the Google deep dives Iris does to try to discover ways to get Isaac to see the error of his ways, are light and funny despite the seriousness of the situation Iris has created.

    Brooks brings more characters into the story by having Iris call her best friend Max (Geraldine Viswanathan) for help, with Max deciding to bring along her boyfriend, Kenny (John Reynolds). Although their presence adds to the humor of the situation, it also distracts from the main point and leads into some territory that gets a bit too broad. If the story had remained just Iris and Isaac, it might have been able to dig a little deeper than it actually does.

    Gordon, who might be best known for playing Claire on The Bear, does a great job of playing all sides of Iris, from sassy to manic. Although what her character does isn’t defensible, Gordon keeps her likable throughout by never going too over the top. Lerman, a rising star in the early 2010s when he played Percy Jackson, settles nicely into a more adult role, and he too never overplays the absurd situation.

    There are no real insights in Oh, Hi!, but it’s a pleasant watch that accomplishes the goal of delivering a completely different type of romantic comedy. Unless viewers have had an experience with someone who acted anywhere close to Iris, they should be able to enjoy the movie thanks to the committed performances of Gordon and Lerman.

    Oh, Hi! is now playing in theaters.
