Woodlawn Theater

Rapunzel, Cinderella and Snow White are royal triplets who are kidnapped and impatiently awaiting rescue from three Prince Charmings.

 James Carter Organ Trio
April 4, 8 pm
Carver Community Cultural Center
226 N. Hackberry
Given the plaudits saxophone powerhouse James Carter has garnered for his role in helping to propel jazz full tilt into the future over the past two decades, it's surprising to discover that, first, he's yet to reach his forties (he's 39), and second, that his contemporary spin on jazz continues to be fueled by deep respect and intimate knowledge of the tradition. www.thecarver.org |

April 5, 10 am - 10 pm
Mateo Camargo Park
5700 Castroville Road
This one-day, family-oriented event features local and regional competitors who creatively enhance their once factory-standard cars and trucks into imaginative mobile works of art, elaborately detailed with gleaming chrome, restored upholstery, hydraulics, and murals that are personal reflections and expressions of each participant. In addition to the Car Show, aficionados will be treated to the smooth sounds of Danny Acosta & QVO, Rocky Hernandez & OBG, Soul Struck Movement, Ernie Garibay & Cats Don't Sleep, Wilbert Beasly, Liza Ybarra and a special guest performance by The Krayolas at 9 pm. 210.207.3138 |
