Waco’s got all types of theater groups—serious, experimental, traditional—but Brazos Theatre has carved out its own niche as the “fun” one. That continues with the musical horror comedy Haunted Home, written by Waco’s own Bryan Hill.
Choose from a variety of dinner theater options as you experience chills, thrills, and laughs at this weekend’s shows.
Hailing from Oklahoma City, Brotherboy bills itself as a “creative collective” rather than a band. Either way, you’ve got two chances to hear their brand of indie dream pop in Waco this weekend: on Friday night at Common Grounds and Saturday at Freight Bar.
Listen to more music by Brotherboy on Spotify.
Don't be misled by the name GROCERY because the only "food" you'll find is vintage clothing, furniture, home decor, and more to feed your soul. Angelica Mazé visits Washington Avenue’s latest specialty store to see how co-owners Michael Davidson and Colton Dearing have created a shopping experience that combines a big city aesthetic with laid-back Waco charm.
