FUNNY BONZ THE “HUMEROUS SOLUTION” – P3 THEATRE COMPANY (Saturday)
P3 Theatre Company would like you to think of their new hybrid live/stream musical sketch comedy, Funny Bōnz The “Humerous Solution,” as a “musical SNL.”
The show, which features five actors from “Laughing Matters,” an award-winning dinner theater show that operated in Fort Lauderdale from 2005 to 2014, pokes fun at celebrities, politics, pop culture and current events, hence the “musical SNL” description.
The 90-minute show will run at 4 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 10. Tickets cost $29.99. For more information and to purchase tickets, click here.
CHARLES PHOENIX: CATALINALAND STREAM (Saturday)
Pop-culture humorist Charles Phoenix has a knack for finding kitschy, strange and off-beat facts about U.S. history and an even better knack for telling you about it in a way you’ll likely never forget.
From Disneyland to 20th-century architecture, Charles Phoenix has unearthed all kinds of interesting facts and tidbits about travel, entertainment and lifestyles in the mid-20th century for two decades. Now, he’s got his sights set on Catalina Island.
Using a mass collection of vintage photographs and images, Phoenix will share stories of the S.S. Avalon, the Wrigley family, the mysterious Catalina-shaped swimming pool, the iconic 1929 Casino and more online on his YouTube channel Saturday, April 10 at 6 p.m.
It’s not free though; tickets cost $25 or, if you’re feeling so generous, you can donate a $40 ticket that will partially benefit the museum.

FERAL GROUP SHOW EXHIBITION—DARK ART EMPORIUM (Saturday)
A plethora of local and regional artists are featured this month at the Dark Art Emporium, showcasing work in styles that you may have never seen by the artists before.
The theme posed to the artists was the word “feral,” and, as you’ll see in the gallery, made for some pretty wild art.
Some notable artists from the 15 featured include Stephanie Han, Whosvlad?, Xavier Ortiz and Kristin Ferrell.
You can watch the virtual reception opening on Facebook Live (for free) Saturday, April 10 at 7 p.m.
