The Traitors Watch Party
Ever the contrarian, I prefer The Traitors UK’s cast of normies versus the U.S.’s bench of backstabbing reality TV all-stars pulled from Survivor, Big Brother, and the Real Housewives franchise, but whichever flavor you choose of this reality competition show (there are about 20 international versions in rotation), you’re bound to get addicted. The biggest barrier to entry – who the heck has a Peacock subscription? Vacancy Brewing does! Enjoy new episodes with other faithful on Thursdays at 8pm. The nearness of beer could occasion a drinking game – maybe every time somebody wears a truly ridonk hat? That’ll get you plastered … and possibly drunk-buying a plane ticket to the scenic Scottish Highlands, the real star of the show. – Kimberley JonesThursdays at 8pm -

Easter Bunny Photo Time
Maybe all parents know this the moment their child is born, or maybe you need me to inform you, but the freakin’ Easter Bunny’s at the mall right now. As we speak – or as you read, TBH – he’s sat on a wicker throne aside kiddos in their Sunday best getting photos snapped that elderly relatives will just love. The youth may enjoy the experience, too, as this bespectacled bun’s a handsome fellow with soft fur and a winsome smile. Stop by any time between mall open to close and capture the Easter spirit. Plus, the photo area’s right by the Cheesecake Factory – so lunch/dinner plans made, basically! – James ScottThrough April 19 -

The Amazing Acro-Cats
In sixth grade, my science fair project was designed to determine once and for all whether cats can be trained. Countless hours of research determined that it was impossible. Now here come the Amazing Acro-Cats, disproving all that research – mostly. These kitties jump through literal hoops proving how trainable they are, even playing instruments together as the band Tuna and the Rock Cats, doing all kinds of cute tricks and feats of agility for our a-mews-ment. Until they don’t want to anymore and they just lay down. Kitties will be kitties, after all! Their purr-formance supports Rock Cats Rescue, which provides feline education, rescue services, and clicker training demos across the country. – Kat McNevinsThrough April 20 -
