I don’t know if your aware but David works double shifts on Friday, Saturday and Sunday’s. This keeps Charlie and I from attending events happening in DFW.
Charlie and I thought you might be interested in Weekend Events in DFW 3/20 and 3/21. Charlie says if he could attend any of the events he would like to go to Movie in the Park: The Lego Movie.
While David and I would like to go to Tulipalooza in memory of Suzzane. Suzzane’s favorite flowers were Yellow Tulips in memory of my grandmother Dorie.

Description
What would happen to a fairy if she lost her wing? She could no longer fly? Flory, a young night fairy no taller than an acorn and still becoming accustomed to her wings — wings as beautiful as those of a Luna moth — is about to find out.
What she discovers is that the world is very big and very dangerous, but Flory is fierce and willing to do whatever it takes to survive. If that means telling others what to do — like Skuggle, a squirrel ruled by his stomach — so be it. Not every creature, however, is as willing to bend to Flory’s demands.
The Night Fairy is produced by special arrangement with Plays For Young Audiences. Written by John Glore; based on the novel by Laura Amy Schmitz; and directed by Jason Johnson-Spinos. Staged by local kids ages 7–14.
Livestream tickets are open to the public. The show can be watched from anywhere in the world. Purchase a ticket for the desired performance, and the livestream will begin approximately 10 minutes before the start time, in Central Standard Time.
In-person tickets for live performances at Addison Theatre Centre will be available to purchase online for family and friends of cast members. Contact your cast member for details. All in person audience members are required to wear a mask at all times and will receive temperature checks
