Petty Cakes hosts and DMs this interactive Dungeons & Dragons drag show where attendees can 1) roll a giant 20-sided die, 2) name NPCs, 3) a whole bunch of other wild and wacky things that’ll make this the most fun you’ve had on a tabletop – though at the Eagle, that might be a close call.

Minneapolis-born and -raised, Elizabeth Olds lived to a sturdy 94 but didn’t get the attention she deserved in her lifetime. The Harry Ransom Center’s new exhibit, which opened Feb. 3 and runs through July 14, aims to rectify that with a first-of-its-kind look back at more than 100 of her prints, paintings, drawings, and illustrations from the 1920s to the 1960s. Of particular note: her depictions of social and political change from her time as a Works Progress Administration printmaker. Want to go deeper? Drop in for one of the daily docent tours. – Kimberley Jones
