Outrageous Wendy Ho wants you to save her feral pussy (er, she means cat)
Wendy Ho is the kind of entertainer who refers to “her greatest shits,” so it’s no wonder the comedic performer has teamed up with a cat rescue group for a show this weekend called Save My Feral Pussy! You can be a fan of felines and of funny ladies by supporting them both at the show at Barbara’s Pavillion in Oak Cliff.
DEETS:
Barbara’s Pavillion

Raise a glass to Oktoberfest

Musical adaptation of ‘Matilda’ makes North Texas debut
Roald Dahl specialized in subversive children’s literature, from Wonka to giant peaches, and the creators of Matilda The Musical — based on one of Dahl’s books — have captured that spirit. Consider, for instance, that the neglected but resilient young heroine faces off against a stern headmistress … played by a man. The Broadway production of this show won four Tony Awards, and the national tour settles into the Winpear for a comfortable run.
DEETS:
Winspear Opera House
2403 Flora St.
Sept. 23–Oct. 4
