Arts, outdoors events fill Kerr County calendar for week of April 6-12

From a Russian ballet to an ABBA tribute, Kerr County’s cultural calendar is stacked this week with performing arts, outdoor festivals, live music and a road trip opportunity that book lovers won’t want to miss.

The Cailloux Theater bookends the week with two marquee performances. Swan Lake arrives Thursday at 7 p.m., followed Sunday at 4 p.m. by Waterloo: A Celebration of ABBA. Tickets for both are available at caillouxperformingarts.com.

The Hill Country Arts Foundation kicks off a series of multi-week arts classes starting Monday, including a clay hand building workshop meeting Mondays and Wednesdays through early May, an intro to wheel throwing series beginning Tuesday, and an introduction to oil painting launching Wednesday morning. Registration is available at hcaf.com.

Butt-Holdsworth Memorial Library anchors the midweek schedule. On Tuesday at noon, the Great Decisions Discussion Group takes up artificial intelligence with guest speaker Hysun Chung, a cybersecurity engineer at Amazon. On Wednesday, the Friends of the Library Book Sale runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. — a second session is scheduled Saturday during the same hours.

Also Wednesday, Turtle Creek Olives & Vines hosts a downtown wine educational on French labels at 5:30 p.m. Admission is free for members and $20 for non-members.

The Arcadia Live Theater hosts its monthly Third Thirsty Thursday Trivia at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. Entry is free, teams are capped at six, and attendees can pre-order Pint & Plow pizza and appetizers with their RSVP.
