What fun things are happening around town this week? If you like comedy, musical theater, classical music, or you're a history buff, here are just a few suggestions you might want to check out…

Actors, comedians, and fellow SNL-alumni, Dennis Miller and Dana Carvey are set to co-headline a night of comedy at the Hard Rock Live (1 Seminole Way, Hollywood) on July 13 at 7pm. Tickets start at $54.

On July 14, The South Florida Symphony Presents “A Distance Shore” at The Josephine S. Leiser Opera Center (221 SW 3rd Avenue). Enjoy the last concert of the season with the Blue Door String Quartet performing works by Hugo Wolf, Amy Beach, and Brahms. Captivating and highly original for its time, Hugo Wolf’s one movement Italian Serenade inspired great enthusiasm when it was first performed. Following in his footsteps, Amy Beach composed the String Quartet in One Movement. Fascinated by folk music, she successfully integrated three Inuit tunes into this form. The evening concludes with Brahms’ masterpiece String Quartet No. 1 in C minor. The Blue Door String Quartet formed in 2012 and its members include Whitney La Grange (violin), Funda Cizmecloglu (violin), Yuiko Kamakari (violist), and Arthur Cook (cellist). The show begins at 7pm and admission is $30.

Don't miss a delightfully amusing musical adaptation of Rapunzel July 17-19 at The Broward Center for the Performing Arts (201 SW 5th Avenue), performed by the talented Young Professionals Touring Group. This witty and enchanting musical has it all: a possessive mother who happens to be a witch, a tentative young man who happens to be a prince and a strong-willed but naïve young girl with the longest hair in the world. With book and lyrics by two creators of the hit television show Friends, rest assured this fairy tale isn't going to be business as usual! It sheds new light on the beloved fairy tale, revealing a telling tale about parents and children, and the pangs and pleasures of growing up. Admission is $10 and show times vary.
