Local theatre group Silent House continues its ambitious production schedule with Godspell, which runs through Saturday at the Waco Civic Theatre. Waco Insider writer Jonathan Kinder says it’s an “exhilarating” show not to be missed.

Fabled Bookshop & Cafe celebrates its third anniversary this weekend with a special pint night on Friday with food by Mac’s Fry House and two storytimes for kids on Saturday morning. Plus, get cool swag while supplies last when spending $30 or more.
If you haven’t made it by the Susan L. Sistrunk Fine Art Gallery to see Wendy Michelle Davis’s Flowers: A Celebration of Nature’s Most Elegant Beauties, Friday night is your last chance before the show closes. Davis will be on hand to meet with visitors, and Frank Exum will perform acoustic classical guitar music.
