Things to do this weekend: Sound of Music live, Maverick City, Roseaux art installation and more
HOUSTON, Texas -- This weekend, the hills are alive with a Houston stage return of one of the most cherished movies of all time. One of the hottest musical acts of the summer heads to town, as does a decidedly clean comic. A local brewery gets totally cheesy, and the Moody Center presents a fun family day. And, some female bartenders take action following a controversial Supreme Court ruling.
Enjoy and stay cool. Here are your best bets for the weekend.
