Don't miss Masquerade Theatre's Forever Plaid, also playing this month at the Hobby Center. This deliciously goofy revue centers on four young, eager male singers killed in a car crash in the 1950s on the way to their first big concert, and now miraculously revived for the posthumous chance to fulfill their dreams and perform the show that never was. Singing in the closest of harmony, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with over-zealous precision, the "Plaids" are a guaranteed smash, with a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences rolling in the aisles when they're not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the '50s. Forever Plaid runs July 25 through August 2.

Summer Band Concerts
Every Tuesday
7:30pm
As we usher in the Summer season, we embrace the humid weather and sunny days - and welcome the annual return of the Summer Band Concert Series.
Now in its 81st year, the Island Beach Band, directed by Frank Incaprera, is as a part of Galveston summers as snow cones, flip flops, and trips to the beach.
Join your neighbors, friends, and family by attending band performances at the historic Sealy Gazebo on 24th Street and Avenue I across from Rosenberg Library. Family friendly entertainment attracts a casual crowd of locals and tourists to the downtown site.
Summer band concerts are free to the public. Performances start at 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday in June, July, and August.
