Thursday, March 26
Amphibian Stage presents Did You Eat?
Did You Eat? is about family, healing, and the Korean-American experience. Zoë Kim’s autobiographical play journeys through love’s many forms — how it’s learned, given, and reflected inward. In a nimble and tender solo performance, Kim shapeshifts into the souls of her family through a landscape of memories where tears and laughter collide. The production runs through April 12 at Amphibian Stage.
Onstage in Bedford presents Sylvia
Greg is a man of middle age, a restless empty-nester, tired of his job in finance, looking for meaning in his life. Sylvia is a lab/poodle mix, a stray in Central Park, looking for a new home. When they meet, it is love at first sight. But his wife Kate is looking forward to some independence now that the couple no longer has children to care for, and is less than thrilled by the clever and coquettish canine. Sylvia is a smart, silly, sophisticated, and occasionally salty comedy about relationships, nature, and growing older. The production runs through April 12 at Onstage in Bedford.
The Cliburn presents Cliburn Festival America 250
Exploring the ways music reflects the American experience over the last 250 years, the Cliburn will bring together a group of artists-in-residence to present music written in, inspired by, or reflective of the United States. The five performances, taking place through Sunday at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, will feature pianists Peter Dugan, Avery Gagliano, and Jonathan Mamora, along with mezzo-soprano Kara Dugan and other local musicians.
Broadway at the Bass presents Back to the Future the Musical
Back to the Future, the beloved cinematic classic, is now a Broadway musical. When Marty McFly finds himself transported back to 1955 in a time machine built by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown, he accidentally changes the course of history. The production features original music by Alan Silvestri and Glen Ballard alongside hit songs from the movie, including “The Power of Love,” “Johnny B. Goode,” “Earth Angel,” and “Back in Time.” The musical runs through Sunday at Bass Performance Hall.
Wyatt Flores in concert
Singer Wyatt Flores is one of the latest up-and-comers in the Red Dirt country genre of Texas and Oklahoma. A native of Stillwater, Oklahoma, the young singer made his debut in 2022, putting out three EPs in three years before finally releasing his debut album, Welcome to the Plains, in 2024, the same year he was a nominee for Best Emerging Artist at the Americana Music Honors & Awards. He'll play at Billy Bob's Texas.
Friday, March 27
NCAA Women's Basketball Championship - Fort Worth Regional
March Madness hits Fort Worth in full force this weekend, and not just because the TCU Horned Frogs made the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship. While they're competing out in Sacramento, Dickies Arena will host four straight days of games featuring some of the best women's teams in the country, including Connecticut, Texas, North Carolina, Kentucky, Notre Dame, Louisville, Vanderbilt, and Michigan. The Sweet 16 games will take place on Friday and Saturday, followed by the Elite Eight games on Sunday and Monday.
Jubilee Theatre presents Test to Testimony
Test to Testimony is a musical adaptation and rendition of the classic God’s Trombones by James Weldon Johnson. The moving work brings the spirit of African American storytelling and gospel tradition to the stage, transforming timeless sermons into a theatrical experience. The production runs through April 26 at Jubilee Theatre.
Theatre Arlington presents Cinderella
Theatre Arlington will present a sparkling new twist on Cinderella, written by Executive Producer Steven D. Morris and Theatre Arlington favorite Don Powers. The reimagined classic is filled with toe-tapping new songs, laugh-out-loud humor, and all the magic you love — glass slipper included. The production will have five performances through April 5.
Hyena's presents Christopher Titus
Christopher Titus is a prolific stand-up comedian, writer, actor, and producer. He is currently performing his ninth 90-minute special "Stories I Shouldn't Tell," while his most recent hit special, “Amerigeddon,” is available on Amazon. Additionally, Titus has a podcast called The Armageddon Update/Titus Podcast. In 2019, he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in the feature Special Unit, about a team of special needs people who form an undercover police unit. He'll perform four times through Saturday at Hyena's Comedy Nightclub.
Big Laugh Comedy Club presents Jessimae Peluso
Jessimae Peluso is a stand-up comedian, writer, performer, and TV and podcast host whose work blends raw comedy with emotional depth. Known for her breakout role on MTV’s Girl Code and hosting Netflix’s Tattoo Redo and Surviving Paradise, Peluso has spent nearly two decades turning personal pain into punchlines. She hosts the podcast Dying Laughing with Jessimae, which explores grief and loss with just enough inappropriate jokes to make you feel okay about crying. She'll perform four times through Saturday at Big Laugh Comedy Club.
Kameron Marlowe in concert
While reality singing competitions can be a springboard to immediate success for some singers, it can take longer for others (if at all). Kameron Marlowe appeared on The Voice in 2018, but only reached the top 24. Despite moving to Nashville after leaving the show, it took another four years for him to release his debut studio album, We Were Cowboys. He comes back to town in support of his 2025 album, Sad Songs for the Soul. He'll play at Billy Bob's Texas.
Saturday, March 28
Fort Worth Art Dealers Association presents Spring Gallery Night
Twice a year, the Fort Worth Art Dealers Association invites the community to take in the visual arts and the community’s unique cultural richness during Gallery Night. Most participants are open from 12-9 pm. Visitors can take a stroll through participating galleries, museums, retail businesses, and area restaurants, and enjoy the many artists featured during this community event.
Nate Smith in concert
Singer Nate Smith, a native of Paradise, California, was able to make something positive come out of the tragic wildfires that hit the town in 2018. Songs like "One of These Days" and "Wildfire" gave a boost to what had been a flagging music career, and led to him recording his debut self-titled album in 2023. He followed that up with California Gold in 2024, with both albums finishing high on the Billboard Country chart. He'll play at Billy Bob's Texas.
The national tour of Back to the Future the Musical will be at Bass Performance Hall through March 29.
