This downtown memorial honors both Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the late Robert F. Kennedy for their shared desire to raise awareness, provoke thought, and inspire action to eliminate division and injustice. The park is open dawn to dusk welcoming all to spend time reflecting on the men’s lasting legacies and Dr. King’s message that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

For 95 years the Globetrotters have spread game through dizzying ball spinning, high-flying dunks, unmatched court skills, laughter, and light. The family-friendly experience is part streetball, part elite athleticism, and all inspiration and entertainment. Gainbridge Fieldhouse hosts them Sunday for a newly reimagined show. Tickets start at $27.
The old lady living above the hair salon is found murdered. Everyone in the cast is a suspect and the audience will determine whodunit by studying clues and questioning the players. It’s a different outcome every night as the actors use improv to help you detangle the mystery. See who makes the cut through February 5. Tickets are $55 and up and include a dinner buffet.
Be transported back to the ’80s (or is it 1999?) with one of the most authentic Prince and The Revolution tributes Saturday night. Let’s go crazy and get delirious with the tunes of the sexy MF from Minneapolis. Bring your dirty mind and be ready for a little controversy when you hop out of your little red corvette wearing that raspberry beret. Tickets are $20 and you must be 21 or older.
