A Few Good Men

Opens Friday, March 21, 8 p.m.

Will you be able to watch Theatre Tulsa’s A Food Good Men without thinking of Jack Nicholson in the witness box shouting at Tom Cruise? “You can’t handle the truth!” It’s the best known line from the 1992 film of the same name, but it would be a shame if audiences didn’t give this production of the Alan Sorkin play (upon which the film is based) due credit and attention. The story about an untested Navy lawyer defending two Marines accused of killing a soldier from their platoon is high drama as he unfolds the truth and the bigger question of how honor and humanity fit in an increasingly complex and volatile world. A Few Good Men opens at 8 p.m. Friday, March 21, at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, 110 E. Second St., Tulsa. The play continues through the weekend and from May 27-29. Tickets are $14-$18 at www.myticketoffice.com.

Opens Sunday, March 23

Philbrook Museum of Art is known for bringing not only the artistic masterpieces of history and far off continents to a local audience. The institution is also synonymous with an expansive collection of Native American work from past and contemporary artists. Philbrook Downtown, 116 E. Brady St., Tulsa, puts the spotlight on Charles Loloma, the late Hopi founder of Lolomaware pottery who also made jewelry pieces that challenged ideas of Southwestern Native American jewelry. Blending traditional materials (silver, gold, turquoise) with unconventional stones and metals in designs deviating from standards such as the squash blossom design, Loloma created pieces startling in their construction and presentation. The exhibit Beauty Within includes his prints, drawings, ceramic pieces and jewelry. It opens Sunday, March 23, and runs through Sept. 7. For more, visit www.philbrook.org.

Friday, March 21, 8 p.m.

Any band featuring a banjo and mandolin at its heart is welcome to Tulsa. As the Yonder Mountain String Band knows, the heart of Western swing beats to more than one kind of rhythm. The band that had its beginnings at Harvard University (the founding members met there) is back on the road with its progressive bluegrass music that melds the very best of folk twang and the rock current. It’s often said that Yonder plays by its own rules, and that approach has gained the band a wildly loyal following. Follow on to Cain’s Ballroom, 423 N. Main St., on Friday, March 21. The Brothers Comatose opens the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20-$30 at www.cainsballroom.com.
