Friday
Space Oddity
Terry Theater | Downtown Jacksonville
Nearly a decade after his death, David Bowie’s music and mercurial approach to his craft continue to inspire. The widely praised, globally performed multimedia production Space Oddity deftly chronicles the artist’s many transitions, while amplifying the enduring appeal of his music through a elaborately costumed theatrical production. Starring David Brighton, who has embodied Bowie in Space Oddity for two decades now, the production comes to the Terry Theater inside the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts on Friday. Show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets and more information: jacksonvillecenterfortheperformingarts.com

Ritz Theatre & Museum | Downtown Jacksonville
The first installment of a new monthly series at the Ritz Theatre & Museum, the historic venue and museum, presents the Playground, a full-day community event featuring workshops, panel discussions, poetry sessions, live paintings and more. This month’s event, 10 Walls: Playdate at the Playground, highlights the museum’s latest exhibition 10 Walls, which features the work of 10 artists who’ve each been given their own sections of the museum to curate stories based on “the black experience, African and Mexican immigration, ancestral guidance, depression, and self discovery.” Sunday’s event starts at 2 p.m. and is free to attend.
