With Love, Marilyn. This special, four-night-only performance is all about one of Hollywood’s most iconic figures: Marilyn Monroe. In this one-woman show, she’s portrayed by Erin Sullivan, who has nearly 30 years of theater experience under her belt, including portraying Marilyn in Marilee and Baby Lamb: The Assassination of an American Goddess. Not to mention, Sullivan’s the playwright of this show as well! It takes us behind the scenes to a dress rehearsal for a show, where Marilyn is singing songs like “I Wanna Be Loved By You,” “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” and “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend.” 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, through Saturday, Feb. 16, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 17. Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave. $50. Details here.
Pollen Path. The flowering plants of the Sonoran Desert, with all of their colors, shapes, textures and lines, provide joy and inspiration to many a desert dweller or visitor. And the path of pollen from flower to seed is what makes this all possible. For this art exhibit at Tohono Chul, artists were asked to contribute works of art that focus on the pollen producers and transporters of the desert—which gave them pretty much limitless possibilities to work with. Erinn Kennedy is the featured artist. See what they came up with at this exhibit, running from Thursday, Feb. 14, through Wednesday, April 17. Reception with the artists is from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, at the Tohono Chul Main Gallery. 7366 Paseo del Norte. Reception is free. Details here.
Love Hurts. Seriously. The good love giveth and the good love taketh away. If you’re not really in the mood to celebrate this confusing feeling, or at least not to celebrate it traditionally, head downtown to Crooked Tooth, where they traditionally haven’t done anything traditionally. Kari Cadenhead of Marigold Tattoo Studios will be doing stick and poke tattoos for just $40, Whiskey Drunk will be playing live music from 7 to 9 p.m. and Fat Noodle food truck will be onsite with black noodle ramen, and plenty of vegetarian options. So, whether you want to distract yourself from the pain of love with some physical pain, drown out your thoughts with music, eat your feelings or just have a good time, don’t miss it. 5 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14. Crooked Tooth Brewing Co., 228 E. Sixth St. Details here.
