Indoor Relief and Triple Digit Theater
As temperatures climb to 101 degrees, the smart move involves finding the nearest thermostat and a high-signal indoor show. The current slate of events is labeled good, offering an ideal mix of theater comedy and evening sports to keep you out of the sun.
Expect triple digit heat all weekend with clear skies and highs reaching 101. The best outdoor window is Sunday early morning, before the heat builds.
If you only do one thing
This comedy performance by Ari Matti at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas is the top choice because a live theater set provides a specific atmosphere that televised entertainment cannot match. It offers a high-signal indoor alternative to the extreme afternoon heat.
Tip: Arrive before the listed 7:00 PM start time to find your location within the theater.
