From Tapestry tap to Bollywood dance, lots of events this weekend
1. Preservation Austin’s Into the Woods: Historic Homes Tour
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 28. $25-$35. Main ticket station: Historic Browning Hangar, 4209 Airport Blvd. preservationaustin.org.
This year’s home tour, themed “Into the Woods,” showcases a diverse collection of frame cottages, stone-fronted ranch homes and unusual concrete-block bungalows. There will be seven beautifully renovated postwar homes that demonstrate the enduring strength and adaptability of Austin’s historic neighborhoods — as well as how renovations can blend modern updates seamlessly with historic forms and materials. Tour-day ticket sales will be at Mueller’s Historic Browning Hangar; finish with a cold beer at an after-party at Batch Craft Beer & Kolaches.
2. Tapestry Dance’s “April Fools”
8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday through May 6. $23-$34. The Long Center, 701 W. Riverside Drive. 512-474-5664, thelongcenter.org.
Tapestry Dance Company’s award-winning, high-energy show celebrates American vaudeville and features tap dancers assuming the persona of a vintage variety performer — suave song-and-dance man, a baggy pants clown, leggy chorines and more, each one complete with their own show-biz moniker. The eccentric production has it all: a tongue-in-cheek relevance to current events, breath-taking tap dance classics from both stage and screen and live music from the Minor Mishap Marching Band.
3. Argus Cidery’s 8th Anniversary Celebration
5 to 9 p.m. April 27, noon to 7 p.m. April 28-29. Free. 12345 Pauls Valley Rd #2. facebook.com/events/355984541474708/.
Argus has come a long way since opening as Texas’ first cidery in 2010. To celebrate its new milestone, Argus’ tiny taproom is hosting the biggest event the cidery has ever thrown, with three days of 10 ciders pouring from a new draft wall. Argus’ head cider maker, Wes Mickel, will also unveil the latest single varietal cider made from all Texas apples: Red Cortland. Come early on the day you decide to go — the first 25 visitors each day will get a new branded pint glass with their cider purchase.
4. Eric Church, Steve Earle & the Dukes, Texas Gentlemen at Austin360 Amphitheater
7 p.m. April 28. $35.50-$129. 9201 Circuit of the Americas Blvd. austin360amphitheater.com.
Originally scheduled for last September, this show was postponed in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. The new date comes with a support-act change that’s a plus or a minus depending on whether you like Church more for his pop or his country instincts: Native Texan troubadour Earle and his band replace previously scheduled Elle King. It’s good fortune that up-and-coming Dallas outfit the Texas Gentlemen, booked on the original bill to open, are able to return this time. — Peter Blackstock
5. International Dance Day 2018
1 to 4:15 p.m. April 29. $9. Ballet Austin, 501 W. Third St. balletaustin.org/dance-fitness/international-dance-day.
