A Weekend for Indoor Thrills and Professional Play
Houston is looking at a high-temperature weekend with a good rating for those seeking indoor entertainment while the summer break continues. With the Astros hosting a series downtown and multiple theater productions taking the stage, there are plenty of ways to stay cool. Minimize your sun exposure during the peak heat and enjoy the city's various performances.
Expect intense heat with highs reaching 99 degrees and clear, sunny skies throughout the weekend. The best outdoor window is Saturday early morning, before the heat builds, to avoid the high UV levels.
If you only do one thing
This theatrical performance of The Girl on the Train runs at the Hubbard Theatre at Alley Theatre with a listed start of 2:00 PM on Saturday. It is chosen over the professional baseball game because this stage thriller is a live, unrepeatable performance not available to watch from home on a broadcast.
Tip: Arrive at the theater before the 2:00 PM listed start time to locate your seats.
The Shortlist
Sat 6:10 PM · Daikin Park
Major League Baseball as the Houston Astros host the Seattle Mariners at Daikin Park on Saturday evening.
Pro move: Wear light clothing for the walk from the parking area given the 99 degree highs.
Sat 5:00 PM · Emerald Theatre - Houston

Pro move: Check for available downtown street parking before heading to the Travis Street venue.
Fri 9:45 PM · The Houston Improv

Sat 2:00 PM · Crighton Theatre (Conroe)
A theater production of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying at Crighton Theatre in Conroe.
Pro move: Allow for extra travel time to the venue in Conroe for the 2:00 PM showtime.
Fri 9:15 PM · Punch Line Houston
Josh Wolf brings his comedy tour to Punch Line Houston on Caroline Street this Friday night.
