THE WOODLANDS, TX – Quote of the week: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” — Socrates

The new school year is rapidly approaching, which means if you’re a parent (or a student), it’s time to cram in as much summer fun as you can. And if you’re not a parent or student… well, the same directive applies. Carpe diem!

Houston Grand Opera’s Storybook presentation of Westward Ho, Carlotta! Happens today at The Woodlands Children’s Museum at 11 a.m. What’s an opera singer to do when the appeal of performing in concert halls wears thin? Go west, of course! And sure as shootin’, that’s what Carlotta Carusa does. Out on the prairie, Carlotta finds all the adventure she’s been craving: snarling wolves, disastrous droughts, and that no-good skunk villain Skullneck Sam. But fear not, there’s nothing more satisfying than watching a feisty heroine, armed with a good melody and a heap of confidence, tame the untamable. Westward Ho, Carlotta! is an outrageously silly Wild West adventure sure to make any kid as happy as a tick on a hound dog! Included in the price of admission, which is $9 for adults and children 1 year and older.
