Stop at the new sea lion exhibit that opened Saturday at the Tulsa Zoo.
Spring break is this week (Oh, how I wish I still had those), and here’s a mixture of happenings around town that you can enjoy whether or not you have the privilege of some time off.
Sunday: "Always...Patsy Cline"Today’s 2 p.m. show is the last chance to catch “Always… Patsy Cline,” presented by Tulsa Project Theatre at the Tulsa Convention Center, 100 Civic Center.

Tickets are $20-$30, available at 1-877-885-7222 and
