Check out these weekend activities in Detroit if you're looking for something to do.

"Riverdance 30 — The New Generation" brings a reimagined version of the beloved Irish dance phenomenon to the Fox Theatre as part of its North American tour, marking 30 years since "Riverdance" first captivated the world. The production features new choreography, costumes, and state-of-the-art lighting and projection, along with an entirely new generation of performers, none of whom were alive when the original show hit the stage. GRAMMY Award-winning music, world-class dancers, and the infectious energy that has made "Riverdance" a global cultural sensation are all on full display in this breathtaking and celebratory production.

Founded in 1954, the Paul Taylor Dance Company is widely regarded as one of the most groundbreaking forces in American modern dance. The company's program at Detroit Opera includes "Company B," a seminal piece of Americana that revisits the turbulent era of World War II through the hit songs of the Andrews Sisters, along with a 50th anniversary presentation of Taylor's masterpiece "Esplanade," which finds mythic resonance in the ordinary moments of everyday life. The program offers a sweeping tribute to one of the most celebrated choreographers in the history of American dance.

Stavros Halkias is currently one of the most in-demand comedians. The Baltimore-born comic has gained a massive following through his podcast "Stavvy's World" and his Netflix special "Fat Rascal." His debut special, "Live at the Lodge Room," surpassed 7 million views on YouTube. Known for sharp crowd work and unapologetically honest humor, Halkias has also made his mark on screen, starring in the Netflix comedy series "Tires" and appearing in films directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and produced by A24. Don't miss his all-new "Dreamboat Tour" at Detroit's Jack White Theatre.
