Dodge April's showers and get into spring with some of the many killer opportunities found in our event listings and Staff Picks. 

Here are some highlights of the week ahead: 

Monday, April 4

SPORTS & OUTOORS | The Hub is hosting a Pickleball Clinic, where you can learn the ins and outs of the sport taking the nation by storm, I believe because the tiny courts make you feel like a GIANT!

Tuesday, April 5

THEATER | Broadway hit and Disney fave Beauty and the Beast opens its Spokane run at the INB. Read our story about the visiting Belle here. 

Wednesday, April 6

COMMUNITY | It's midweek, and you might be feeling the doldrums a bit. Why not try something new? How about taking Square Dance Lessons at the Western Dance Center. No partner needed, but boot-scootin' is a must. 

Thursday, April 7

FOOD & DRINK | The name of this event on the patio at Prohibition Gastropub pretty much says it all: Scotch & Cigars. You like those things? Then go check out this pairing of fine sips and stogies. 

LIVE BANDS | Rapper G-Eazy headlines a gig at the intimate-for-a-night Star Theatre at the Spokane Arena. Read our interview with the man here. 

Friday, April 8

COMEDY | Andy Woodhull takes the stage at Spokane Comedy Club all weekend. He's the first comic to make his network TV debut on Jimmy Fallon's show. 

Saturday, April 9

SPORTS & OUTDOORS | Spring weather means time to tune up the wheels, or get some new ones. The Spokane Bike Swap & Expo could have the sweet new ride you need to roll in style.
