Wayne Brady Jones Hall Daily from Fri., October 10 until Sun., October 12 Downtown-Midtown
It's a little odd to think of Wayne Brady fronting the Houston Symphony. Sure, the actor/comedian/dancer/singer was a stand-out lyricist and vocalist on the hit series Whose Line Is It Anyway?, but our hipster department remembers him more fondly for his hilarious roles on the Emmy... More >>

Dr. Seuss Wants You! Holocaust Museum Houston Daily from Fri., September 26 until Sun., February 1 Third Ward
It's hard to imagine that the same mind that created the Cat in the Hat, the Lorax and Yertle the Turtle spent time contemplating war and genocide, but it turns out that Dr. Seuss drew many cartoons about some real-life super-grinches: the Nazis. Theodor Seuss Geisel was the head political... More >>

"American Civil War Field Notes: Sketches from Cairo to Columbia" O'Kane Gallery Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., October 9 until Thu., December 11 Third Ward

"The Beauty of Disposable Things" The Village Firefly Daily from Fri., October 3 until Fri., October 31 Kirby-West U
You may have noticed that "green" is kind of a hip concept right now, having made Al Gore (of all people) cool, bottled water a public enemy and tossing an aluminum can in the trash practically a felony.
