Women+ On The Edge of Democracy — The Kimbell
Sat, Oct 24, 2026
Texas A&M's Academy for the Visual & Performing Arts presents short plays about the state of American democracy at The Kimbell. The project began when Vermont's Flynn Center and the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize commissioned 36 women+ playwrights to write ten-minute plays and monologues. This evening features works by Lauren M. Gunderson, Justice Hehir, Sarah Mantell, Deb Margolin, and Jenny Schwartz, alongside original artwork by Paula Scher of Pentagram. It's free, from 7 to 8:30.

Scream — Halloween Movies at The Queen
The Queen Theatre wraps up Halloween week with a screening of Scream, a fitting choice for the last stretch before Halloween. Watching it at the Queen is half the appeal: the restored 1930s theatre on South Main offers reclining seats and food and drink service right at your seat during the movie. Make it a Wednesday night out downtown with friends, maybe dinner nearby first. Check the Queen's listing for showtime and ticket details before heading over.
