FAMILY
Apr 16–May 17
Robin Hood
Whether portrayed as a character of classic English folklore, dressed as a man in tights via Mel Brooks, drawn as a Disney fox, or swinging across the Seattle Children’s Theatre stage, Robin Hood always makes for swashbuckling fun. It’s hard to tire of his tales of outwitting the Sheriff of Nottingham, wooing Maid Marian, and robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Seattle Children's Theatre, $15–$40
COMEDY
Apr 16–18
Moshe Kasher
Moshe Kasher’s comedy mixes equal parts vicious snark and flamboyant flair. He is just as effective eviscerating condescending critics (like a Fox News anchor who complained after Kasher performed at a university event her daughter attended) as he is when throwing out cheeky one-liners on @Midnight. That’s what we call well rounded. Laughs Comedy Spot, $15
Fri & Sat, Apr 17 & 18
Dave Attell
“I was on this date with this really hot model. Well, it wasn’t really a date date. We just ate dinner and saw a movie. Then the plane landed.” —Dave Attell. The standup revels in the seediness of comedy clubs, where his twisted sense of humor melds perfectly with inebriated onlookers. Parlor Live Comedy Club Seattle, $35–$40
Sat, Apr 18
Pete Holmes and Rob Bell
On his hit podcast You Made It Weird, comedian Pete Holmes loves to get spiritual, philosophical, and existential. So it came as no surprise that he became good friends with new age pastor and former Time 100 honoree Rob Bell. On their Together at Last Tour, the pair explore the biggest questions of live and reality with humorous flair. Neptune Theatre, $29
VISUAL ART
Apr 17–Aug 16
The New Frontier: Young Designer-Makers in the Pacific Northwest
While not an essential aesthetic element, functionality can imbue art with new layers of depth. Bellevue Arts Museum’s New Frontier: Young Designer-Makers in the Pacific Northwest rounds up elite local design minds for an exhibit that explores how. Bellevue Arts Museum, $12
THEATER
Apr 17–May 17
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
In 1965, ACT Theatre produced Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof as part of its debut season. Now ACT is set to reprise the Pulitzer Prize–winning classic for the theater’s 50th anniversary. The play’s reflections on family schisms, homosexuality, alcoholism, and death—all set against a tense and humid Southern backdrop—still resonate half a century later. ACT Theatre, $20–$68
THE SPORTING LIFE
Sat, Apr 18
Seattle Mariners vs. Texas Rangers: King Felix Hernandez Bobblehead Night
Mariners blog U.S.S. Mariner bestowed the moniker King Felix on Felix Hernandez back in 2003 when he was a minor league phenom, and he's more than lived up to one of the best nicknames in sports. Now his royal highness gets the proper bobblehead treatment, complete with a golden crown and majestic cape. It's the silly bobblehead done right. Bonus: Felix is actually the scheduled starter for the showdown with the division rival Texas Rangers. Safeco Field, $27–$550
CONCERTS
Thru Apr 18
Allen Stone: Evolution of an Artist
While Allen Stone reigns as the current king of Seattle soul, he hasn’t forgotten the path that got him there. To celebrate his new album Radius (due this May), Stone has spent this week recharting his career trajectory by playing five shows at five of his favorite local venues. Still left on the docket: the Crocodile, Neumos, and the Paramount Theatre. Various venues, $21–$95

EMP Pop Conference: Tacocat, Chastity Belt, S, and Childbirth
The theme of this year's EMP Pop Conference is "Get Ur Freak On: Music, Weirdness, and Transgression." So it only made sense for the organizers to turn to the roster of Seattle's Hardly Art Records in order to put together a killer concert for and by weirdos. Sing along with Tacocat's playful feminist anthems, embrace apathetic promiscuity with Chastity Belt, and cry dance to S. Experience Music Project, $15

Record Store Day 2015 at Everyday Music
Whether you're a fan of Record Store Day, bemoan how the event has increasingly pushed out independent labels in favor of corporate interests, or don't even own a turn table (all valid stances), there's no arguing with the free in-store performances that Everyday Records offers up for RSD. Dig through crates while listening to local music from Dude York, Sharlese, Neighbors, RACIA, DJ Veins, So Pitted, Grace Love and the True Loves, and more. Everyday Music, Free
