Laser Evening at Frost Science
Laser shows are a longstanding tradition at the Frost Planetarium (and before that, at the old Miami Science Museum in Coconut Grove), but space cadets are in for a particularly special treat this weekend. Phoebe Bridgers is bringing her latest album, “Lost Weekend,” to select planetariums across the country, including at Frost Science. Both shows are sold out, but you can still attend the 9 p.m. show featuring ’90s music, or the 10 p.m. show, a new one featuring music from the 2000s. 7 p.m. at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, 1101 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-434-9600. Tickets cost $15 via frostscience.org.
