The Doyle & Debbie Show

July 12–Sep 8 | Stages Repertory Theatre

Washed-up country star Doyle Mayfield recruits a new singing partner named Debbie in a last-ditch attempt at reclaiming his honky-tonk relevance. Will he make a comeback? Maybe, but the real draw for this folksy sendup will be the original music.

Tickets from $20. 3201 Allen Pkwy. Ste. 101. 713-527-0123. More info and tickets at stagestheatre.com.

The Music of Selena

July 12–13 | Houston Symphony

The Queen of Tejano music has been at front of mind ever since Kacey Musgraves and Cardi B paid tribute to her at this year's rodeo. Now, the Houston Symphony tries its hand with all-new arrangements of the late star's hits. “Basically, I was told to arrange these songs like it was Selena singing,” composer Adam Podd told us. “In my mind, Selena is doing these songs.”

Tickets from $25. Jones Hall, 615 Louisiana St. 713-224-7575. houstonsymphony.org

Waugh Bat Colony Boat Tour
