What to do this weekend -- our suggestions

Posted by Crystal K. Wiebe on Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 8:05 AM

Tonight, head to 13th Street and State Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas, for the Kansas City Kansas Street Blues Festival. The wailing and wah wah-ing extends through Saturday night.

Check out a brand new theater. Saturday is opening night for Sorry, Wrong Number, starring Corrie Van Ausdal, at the Fishtank Theatre. Van Ausdal (pictured above) also happens to be the executive director of the newest theatrical performance space in the Crossroads.

Get a glimpse of Indian women and girls (like the one above) and learn about their lives through Beloved Daughters: Photographs by Fazal Sheikh, a photography exhibit opening at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art on Saturday.

Cheer on some really tough women. Local women's football team the Kansas City Tribe takes on the Los Angeles Amazons at 6 p.m. Saturday on the Center High School field.

On Sunday, admire the fruits of some of the city's greenest thumbs during the Kansas City Urban Farms and Gardens Tour, which spans various plots, lawns and fields across the metro.
