John Waite in Bartlett, Little Women opens in Germantown, and Friday's the dry night

Hey Memphis 👋 It's Friday. Today is sunny and near 91, Saturday looks like a washout with rain all day and gusts to 40, and Sunday clears early. If any weekend plans can move, move them to tonight.

If you missed it, here's yesterday's weekend guide.

John Waite — Bartlett Performing Arts & Conference Center, 3663 Appling Rd., Bartlett, 7:30 PM, $60. The voice behind "Missing You" sings the hits from The Babys and Bad English. Lobby doors open at 6:30. Details

Music Box: Chasity Alliston & Brandon Ross — Hattiloo Theatre's Culture Box, 37 Cooper St., doors 7:30, show 8, $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Two singers, one set, soul to rock to folk. These often sell out. Details

Caroline Davis — The Green Room at Crosstown Arts, Crosstown Concourse, doors 7, show 7:30, $20 in advance plus fees, $30 at the door. The saxophonist improvises a set built around the room itself. Details

👶 With the kids

Zoo Boo — Memphis Zoo, 2000 Prentiss Pl., gates open at 6 PM, last entry 8:30, $23, $20 for members, tickets online only. It's rain or shine and tickets can't be moved to another date, so tonight is the one to buy. Details

LEGO of Your Imagination — Raleigh Library, 4–5 PM, free, ages 5 to 12. Build whatever the bricks turn into. Details

Two fixes to yesterday's guide. De La Soul has dropped off the Mempho lineup, and single-day passes go up in price at 10 this morning. And Hattiloo has taken the Bridging Worlds festival off its website and ticketing with no announcement we could find, so call the box office at 901-525-0009 before you head over. (via Mempho and Hattiloo)

If you've got business at the Shelby County Clerk, go this morning. Every Clerk's office closes at noon today for staff training, regular hours return Monday, and online services stay up the whole time. (via Action News 5)

South Main is closed in both directions under the rail bridge between E. Carolina Ave. and E.H. Crump Blvd. while the city repairs concrete on the bridge. There's no reopening date yet, so plan another way through. (via Action News 5)

Fall break starts Monday. Memphis-Shelby County Schools students are out Oct. 12–19 and back Oct. 20, and Germantown schools are out Oct. 12–16. Today closes out the first quarter. (via Memphis-Shelby County Schools)
