New Home. So this is kind of cheating because we aren't actually giving you something to do for the 24th. We are preparing you for something to attend anytime between tomorrow and May 4. Tonight marks the grand opening of Studio K, The Kivisto Performance Hall, the new entertainment destination for the Tulsa Ballet. An opening reception and a soldout performance of About Tango begin this evening on the brand-new site. The opening production is exactly as it is titled- a lesson about tango. One of the most prominent couples in the world of Argentine Tango will bring their renowned style, interpretation, choreography, and command to the stage. Enjoy the scope of tango emotions from intense passion to comic and support the opening of the new home of the Tulsa Ballet. Call 740-6030 for more.

Friday 4.25

Sing Alongs. We aren't arguing that you don't sing a mean version of Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" or Abba's "Dancing Queen." It's just that we think there might be a group that does it fairly well, too. The Council Oak Men's Chorale is opening its tenth season with Musical Royalty, a program full of popular music that everyone knows, loves and attempts to re-master. You'll hear a little bit of jazz, soul, country and good ol' rock & roll. Expect some Aretha, possibly a lil' Duke Ellington and much, much more. The show opens tonight and continues with a second performance tomorrow. Tickets are $15. Call 596-7111 or visit myticketoffice.com.

Blitz and Hitz. It's Saturday night, you're bored and all you have is about 10 bucks. What could you do with that? Get some music in your bloodstream, that's what!

Walkin. Yes, indeed. We're walkin. Walking down to the Riverwalk Crossing in Jenks for Art Walk. It's time for the Spring Fling Festival today from 11am-5pm. Have you forgotten Mother's Day is coming up? If so, this is the place for a one-of-a-kind gift for the loving lady in your life. Artists come together and display their paintings, jewelry and other crafts and gifts and the event benefits the Children's Hospital at Saint Francis. No, wait. There is more. There will even be an area where you can make and take your masterpiece. This might just be what mom really wants. Visit presentingart.com for more information. Pictured above: Dennis Scott's "".

Geography Lesson. You know, Canada is kind of like an undiscovered country for most of us and besides the occasional Dudley Do-Right cartoon (or the horrible Brendan Fraser film adaptation) we really don't know much about our neighbors to the north. John Statz wants to change that tonight at Agora Coffee, 4959 S 79th East Ave. Okay, so Statz isn't Canadian, but he is supporting his latest album Our Love Was Made For Canada, which practically makes him Pierre Trudeau. Right? The show starts at 7pm and Susan Herndon is also scheduled to hit the stage. Visit agoratulsa.com for more information.

Feel Beautiful. The Dennis R. Neill Equality Center art gallery says it's time for another monthly First Thursday meet-the-artist reception.
