Love, Chickasaw Style

There’s...something exciting...coming to Tulsa’s Brady Theater. Beam down to a live screening of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan with author, singer, and sci-fi legend William Shatner.

Breaking Daylight

While the pop-rock genre is often one of vast mimicry, listeners hard-pressed to find a diamond in the rough need look no further than Oklahoma City’s Jones Assembly when Grace Potter descends for one night only. Potter is debuting her first solo album since The Nocturnals, Daylight, and it’s an aural journey you won’t soon forget. February 13. Tickets, $33-$548. eventbrite.com

Grrrr-iffic!

We’re not make-believing it up: our favorite adolescent cartoon tiger is coming to Midwest City!

Daniel Tiger, O the Owl, Miss Elaina, and the whole family will take the audience on a musical journey to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe to learn about the meaning of friendship, helping, and other things you can’t trust real tigers to teach your kids about.

Colorful, musical, elegant, energetic: Ballet Folclórico Nacional de México de Silvia Lozano brings all that and more to Armstrong Auditorium in Edmond.

Next Friday

Norman is a college town and that means Friday nights are pretty packed. So you’ll have to forgive the city for leaving the “first Friday” events to the newbies and planting their flag one week over with monthly 2nd Friday Norman Art Walk. Whether you’re looking for something both extremely cheap and romantic to do for Valentine’s Day or you just want to pretend you know anything about art, you’ll find it in the Walker Arts District. Gather to appreciate the hard work done by local artists while also enjoying art events, concerts, and a ton of restaurants and bars in the area. February 14. Admission, Free. 2ndfridaynorman.com
