Being super disappointed that The Lion King at Bass Hall sold out before I could get my paws on tickets, I may have to attend Drive-In Movie Night at Southcliff Church (4100 SW Loop 820, 817-924-2241). At 6pm, head to the north parking lot for a free screening of the film at sundown. The popcorn is free, and you can watch in your car or bring chairs and blankets for outside.

That’s some pig. See a live-action production of Charlotte’s Web based on the E.B. White book of the same name, featuring everyone’s favorite pig/spider/rat team — Wilber, Charlotte, and Templeton — plus Fern, the little farm girl who loved them, at Casa Mañana (3101 W Lancaster Av, 817-332-2272) at 1pm or 5pm Sat and 11am or 3pm Sun. As the stock show has just ended, it will be refreshing to revisit the story of a little piggie who did not go to market. Actually, he went to market but made it back home unscathed, thanks to Charlotte, who was a true friend and, dang, a pretty good writer. Tickets start at $29 at CasaManana.org.

If you didn’t get enough of Groundhog Day or love The Goldbergs and Stevie Ray Vaughan, tune in to KNON’s Reckless Rock Radio on 89.3-FM at 10pm. Along with veteran muso Jimmy Wallace, actor/musician Stephen Tobolowsky will be interviewed by Reckless cohosts Lee “Big Mix” Russell and Greg “Spicoli” Reneau about the 1971 album A New Hi featuring SRV and other notable folks from the ’70s music scene in North Texas. (Tobolowsky grew up in North Texas and played with SRV back in the day.)
