It's the third Thursday of the month, which means that it's the perfect day to visit the Blanton for their monthly, late-night shindig. Enjoy free entry, pizza and wine combos for $5, live classical museum and plenty of art. If you haven't yet visited Ellsworth Kelly's "Austin," now's your chance—it's a real beauty.

Catch a performance of Cry It Out before it wraps up on the 20th. The newest production from Austin’s Theatre en Bloc is about “the absurdities of being home with a baby, the power of female friendship, the dilemma of going back to work, and the effect class has on parenthood in America”—all incredibly timely issues. Curious to learn more before you go? We spoke to director Lily Wolff in order to unpack some of the play’s deeper layers.

If you haven't yet sobbed watching Coco, now’s your chance to ugly-cry among a bunch of strangers with tonight's Movies at the Park screening. Head to Dove Springs District Park around 8:45pm to catch the family favorite. Don’t worry, you can eat your feelings, too: there will be food trucks if you want to make it a picnic dinner and a movie.
