James and the Giant Peach

The show is recommended for first-graders and older, and is showing through May 13 at MATCH. 12:30 and 3:30 p.m.

Crawfish Sunday
Head over to Pearl Bar Houston for their weekly crawfish Sunday. Serving up crawfish for $3.99/lb., Pearl will have their weekly Pride Market from 3 p.m. until it ends, and will dish up plates of crawfish until they run out.
