The Parkway Theater
Well, Donald Trump has been reelected, creepy men are storming our uterine walls, and Liz Cheney is going back to hating everything we stand for. But the good news is comedian Lizz Winstead returns with her childless cat lady energy for Project 2024: This Super Weird Year In Review, her comedic round-up of the year that was. Winstead will hilariously sh*t-talk every fascist who got us here, look at the signs Democrats missed that they were in trouble, and examine the media’s hot takes, all while tapping into our collective panic. It's the rage-laugh we need right now, especially at things we aren't supposed to say out loud. There isn’t a WTF moment she won’t touch.

Orchestra Hall
Step, dance, soar into 2025 with the Minnesota Orchestra. One hundred years ago, George Gershwin struck gold with Rhapsody in Blue. It was part of a trend to blend jazz and classical music in the concert hall—and although George Antheil predicted his Jazz Symphony would “put Gershwin in the shade,” that didn’t exactly pan out. Still, it’s a hoot to hear the two works side by side.
