Jersey Boys finishes up this weekend at the Adler Theatre. If you haven't already, be sure to see for yourself why folks consider this to be the best new musical! On Thursday, best selling comedienne of all time, Chonda Pierce, takes the stage to share her stories of faith and personal experiences through humor and good fun.

The final Friday of April has arrived, and Bucktown Center for the Arts is ready to celebrate! Opening reception for the "Heart to Art" exhibit takes place Friday with events including blood pressure checks, chair massages, live music, and the Independent Film Cafe Premiere of "Buried Hearts." Start your Saturday morning with Yoga, and learn about essential oils, heart healthy diets, and women and heart disease throughout the day over at Bucktown.

It may be the final Friday of April, but it's also the first Fireworks Friday of baseball season! Head to Modern Woodmen Park and cheer the Quad Cities River Bandits on to a win this weekend as they face the Burlington Bees. Head on back Tuesday through Thursday for even more giveaways, deals, and fun when they play the Cedar Rapids Kernels.

Get your groove on this Saturday in the Redstone Room with Family Groove Company and The Dawn. Earlier that day, bring the kids out for an afternoon of live music and other performance just for kids as Chris Dunn hosts Kidz Days at RME. Also at RME this weekend is the EXILE Brewing Company Tap Takeover with performances by The Candymakers and others! With six new brews on tap and two new bottles available, you won't want to miss this takeover!
