A Frank Discussion

The annals of history beckon to be revisited and retold so we may not repeat past offenses. In this independent film, #Anne Frank Parallel Stories, Academy-Award winning actress Helen Mirren guides the powerful retelling of Anne Frank’s diary through various pages; as well as the story of five Holocaust survivors with similar stories to the Anne Frank. Powerful, gut-wrenching, and necessary. March 3 & 4. Tickets, $10-$15. circlecinema.org

Give 'Em Shell

Head to the Bricktown Events Center in Oklahoma City for a 1920s-themed celebration that is no yolk as the Oklahoma City Museum of Art's 36th Annual Omelette Party cracks open for another year.
