The A-List
OUR PICKS FOR WHAT TO SEE AND DO THIS WEEK
1. Movie
The last thing any bad guy wants to hear is a Liam Neeson character growling, “I’m coming for you.” In “Honest Thief,” it’s two rogue FBI agents on the wrong end of that conversation after they double-cross Tom (Neeson), a bank robber who wants to confess his crimes so he can start his life over.
Opens Friday in theaters.
2. Theater
San Antonio will host the U.S. premiere of “Art Heist,” an interactive evening starting at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts that’s part downtown walking tour, part performance, in which socially distanced folks will work to try to solve a crime. The clues and the characters are based on the real-life, still-unsolved 1990 theft of 13 paintings from a Boston museum.
Opens Friday. 7 and 9 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays; 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. Saturdays and 5:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 25. $39.50 to $44.50, tobi.tobincenter.org .
3. Concert
While Asleep at the Wheel has never stopped paying tribute to Western swing king Bob Wills, it’s fair to say the band also filched his crown somewhere along the way, making songs like “Take Me Back to Tulsa” and “Big Balls in Cowtown” their own. The band is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
8 p.m. Friday, 9 p.m. Saturday, Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Road, New Braunfels. $110-$390 for tables for two and six, gruenehall.com (Saturday sold out).
4. Album
“Live at the Forum” was recorded at three dates on the Eagles’ 2018 tour, the band’s first without the late Glenn Frey. (His son Deacon and country star Vince Gill filled in). It’s a greatest hits set, from “Take It Easy” to “In the City,” with extra Joe Walsh, including “Life’s Been Good” and “Rocky Mountain Way.” Available Friday.
5. TV
David Byrne’s innovative “American Utopia” tour, which cut wires and cables so the musicians could move around the stage like a dance troupe, played the Tobin Center twice en route to Broadway. That’s where Spike Lee filmed the show, which draws on Byrne’s work with Talking Heads as well as his solo career.
7 p.m. Saturday, HBO.
6. Classical music
Camerata is streaming a live concert titled “Emperor,” a reference to Haydn’s famed “Emperor” Quartet, which is on the program alongside works by del Aguila, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Enescu and Kodaly.
3 p.m. Sunday. $20 per household, cameratasa.org/tickets; ticket buyers will receive a link to the stream. It will be available through Oct. 31.
